Trolley Stop
The Valdosta Trolley called the Valdosta Street Railway opened in 1900 and ran until the end of 1925. The last part of the streetcar line still in existence is the Trolley stop at the entrance of Valdosta State University. The students from South Georgia State Normal College (1913-1921) and Georgia State Woman's College (1921-1950) would use the trolley to get into town. Pictures below are from the Lowndes County Historical Society:
