In the late 18th century a trading settlement called Cedar Shoals stood on the Oconee River where Athens is today, and Georgia took control of the area after the Oconee War. On January 27, 1785, the Georgia General Assembly granted a charter, written by Abraham Baldwin, for the University of Georgia, the first state-supported university. In 1801 a committee of trustees chose a site on a hill above Cedar Shoals, then in Jackson County. On July 25, 1801, John Milledge, a trustee and later governor, bought 633 acres from Daniel Easley and gave them to the university, and he named the area Athens after the Greek city of Plato's Academy.
The first campus buildings were made of logs, and lots next to the college were sold to pay for more construction. When the first class graduated in 1804, Athens had three houses, three stores and a few other buildings facing Front Street, now Broad Street. Franklin College, finished in 1806 and named for Benjamin Franklin, was the first permanent building of the university and the town, and it survives as Old College. Athens became a town in December 1806, governed by a three-member commission. Cotton mills drove its industrial and commercial growth, and it became known as the Manchester of the South, after the English mill city. In 1833 a group of Athens businessmen led by James Camak began organizing a railroad to serve the growing town. Sources Wikipedia: Athens, Georgia
