In 1837, Robert W. Pooler sold a tract of land roughly one mile long to the Central of Georgia Railroad. Shortly after that, the first train station in Pooler was built.
William W. Gordon, president of Central of Georgia Railroad, named the station for Pooler as a reward for the difficult and tedious work he had completed on a feasibility study to determine the route that railroad would take through various Georgia towns and counties.
At this time, Pooler was not yet a town. There were only a few scattered farms in what would soon be known as the town of Pooler. The Railroad chose this location because of the many roads that could be reached from the crossroads of Old Louisville Road (now Highway 80) and Country Road (now known as Rogers Street). Seventy years after the land was sold, the sleepy Southern town, was incorporated at a city.
Neither man could know that on December 9, 1864 General William T. Sherman and his troops would make camp beside that very railroad station in preparation for their siege of Savannah. At that time, less than 200 people lived in the isolated and impoverished Pooler community.
The town did not begin to develop until the Railroad began selling off excess right-of-way, or strips, of station land in the mid 1880’s. On September 24, 1888, the Savannah Morning News said that the town of Pooler was growing so rapidly that even though it was only two or three years old, the town already had 16 houses. At that time, this was a phenomenal feat for the small town. Today, Pooler is continuing to grow at that phenomenal speed and is now considered one of the fastest growing cities in Georgia.
Standing at the sign and facing the caboose you will find a hyphenated name. Using the first name where A=1, B=2 etc, call the first letter A, the fifth letter B and (5th - 1st)=C.
Find the year that Pooler was incorporated. Call the third number D, the fourth number F and (4th - 1st)=E.
