Boys Estate, Georgia's town just for boys, is located one-half mile west of here on part of historic Elizafield Plantation. Elizafield was first the home of Dr. Robert Grant and later of his son, Hugh Fraser Grant, and was one of the rich River Plantations of the early 19th century. It was cultivated intensively in rice and sugar cane, and the ruins of a large sugar mill built of tabby are still in evidence. In 1935, Cator Woolford gave this tract to Georgia for a State Park, and in 1945 the Legislature made it available for the establishment of Boys Estate.
