History of Canoochee
The name "Canoochee" might come from the Muscogee language. A linguist (someone who studies languages) named William Bright thought it could mean "little ground."
In 1912, the Georgia General Assembly (which is like Georgia's state government) officially made Canoochee a "Town." Its town limits stretched out about half a mile from the Savannah and Statesboro Railway depot. However, the town's official status was ended in 1995.
