Bridgeboro is an unincorporated community in Worth County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History
editA post office called Bridgeboro was established in 1905, and remained in operation until 1957.[2] The name "Bridgeboro" was applied to this community in reference to the Limestone deposit underneath this part of Georgia. There was once a Limestone quarry in the area but has since been abandoned.[3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the "Town of Bridgeboro" in 1912.[4] The town's charter was dissolved in 1995.[3]
