The Sixth District Agricultural and Mechanical College opened here in April 1908 with 18 students. In September 1930, the school was reorganized as Georgia Industrial College. President T.O. Galloway was the guiding spirit of the college from 1918 to 1933, a period during which the school greatly expanded its enrollment, programs, and facilities. To reduce state expenditures and help balance the state budget, the school was abolished at the end of the 1933 school year. At the height of its operation, the college enrolled over 200 students and employed 15 faculty members.
