The city was chartered in 1803, starting as a small trading community providing the basic essentials for surrounding [[plantations in the American South|plantations]]. In 1906, Statesboro leaders joined together to bid for and win the First District A&M School, which eventually grew into Georgia Southern University. Statesboro inspired the blues song "[[Statesboro Blues]]", written by [[Blind Willie McTell]] in the 1920s, and covered in a well-known version by [[The Allman Brothers Band]].<ref name="visit-statesboro.com">[http://www.visit-statesboro.com/history.htm Statesboro, Georgia Convention and Visitors Bureau]</ref>

==History==

[[File:Statesborocityhall.jpg|thumb|250px|left|[[Statesboro City Hall]], located downtown in the renovated Jaeckel Hotel building]]

In 1801, George Sibbald of [[Augusta, Georgia|Augusta]] donated a {{convert|9301|acre|km2|adj=on}} tract for a centrally located county seat for the growing agricultural community of Bulloch County. It was developed for large cotton plantations, worked by [[Slavery in the United States|slave]] labor. In December 1803, the Georgia legislature created the town of Statesborough. In 1866 the state legislature granted a permanent charter and changed the spelling of the name to its present form of Statesboro.

During the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] and [[William Tecumseh Sherman|General William T. Sherman's]] famous [[Sherman's March to the Sea|march to the sea]], a [[Union Army|Union]] officer asked a saloon proprietor for directions to Statesboro. The proprietor replied, "You are standing in the middle of town." The soldiers destroyed only the courthouse—a crude log structure that doubled as a barn when court was not in session. After the Civil War, the city began to grow and Statesboro emerged as a major town in southeastern Georgia.

Around the turn of the century, new stores and banks sprang up along the town's four major streets, each named Main. In 1908 Statesboro led the world in sales of long-staple [[Sea Island Cotton]], a specialty of the [[lowland|Low Country]]. For each bale of cotton sold in [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], ten bales were sold in Statesboro. After the [[boll weevil]] decimated the cotton crop in the 1930s, farmers shifted to [[tobacco]]. By 1953 more than 20 million pounds of tobacco passed through warehouses in Statesboro, then the largest market of the "bright Tobacco Belt" spanning Georgia and [[Florida]].

The 1906 First District Agricultural & Mechanical School at Statesboro changed to the 1924 Georgia Normal School, then became the South Georgia Teachers College in 1929, Georgia Teachers College in 1939, and [[Georgia Southern College]] in 1959. During the [[Cold War]], the [http://unitpages.military.com/unitpages/unit.do?id=710801 Statesboro Bomb Plot] of the 12th RBS Squadron was a [[Strategic Air Command]] radar station for [[Radar Bomb Scoring]].<ref>[http://www.ammsalumni.org/html/war_stories___more.html War Stories & More]</ref><ref>[http://frenchybutchic.blogspot.com/2008/07/giant-zero-vincent-johnsons-at.html Frenchy But Chic!: GIANT ZERO - Vincent Johnson's at Statesboro Bomb Plot]</ref>
