Tenant Credit Report Service
Statesboro is a
city in southeast Georgia, United States.
The population was 22,698 at the 2000
census. The city is the county seat of
Bulloch CountyGR6. While Statesboro is
considered to many as the college town of
Georgia Southern University, the city was
chartered a century prior in 1803.
Statesboro leaders joined together, bid for
and won the First District A&M School,
founded in 1906, which eventually grew to
become Georgia Southern University. The area
surrounding Georgia Southern University was
once called Collegeboro, but was never
incorporated and eventually Statesboro grew
outward encompassing "Collegeboro" and the
university.
Although it is true that Statesboro and
Georgia Southern University have
historically grown and continue to grow in
tandem with one another, the city cannot be
considered a true college town. Unlike most
college towns which are communities built
around a college/university, Statesboro was
a well established community whose civic
leaders built and continue to build the
university to this day. Although the
university is run by the state government,
it has very strong ties to various citizens
of Statesboro. Statesboro-Bulloch County
offers a diversified array of employment
opportunities in agriculture and industry
which are unlike most college towns.
However, the Town-Gown relationship is very
real, although not as intense as it could be
since a large portion of the student
population are also Statesboro natives.
