He built a sawmill in what was first known as Slab Town, but the name eventually changed when sawmill worker George Badger, resolving to be the first to honor village's founder, climbed a pine tree and nailed a placard with TIFTON on it, a condensed version of Tift's Town. Today, this thriving community is a meeting place for Interstate 75\/U.S. 41, U.S. 319, and U.S. 82, and boasts a long and proud history.\u003cp\u003eTifton, Georgia in Vintage Postcards reveals the early beginnings of the town and its story to the present day, with picturesque street scenes; local schools, including Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College; Georgia Coastal Plains Experiment Station; people and sports; and industry and agriculture.
