2003/06/24: Boys Estate was located on part of the Elizafield plantation, one of the richest river plantations in the nineteenth century. Elizafield grew both rice and sugar cane. The land for Boys Estate was first given by Cator Woolford in 1935 to be used as a state park; in 1945 the Georgia Legislature made it available for the establishment of Boys Estate, a town only for boys. - External Identifiers:
