History[]
Linguist William Bright believes "Canoochee" may be a name derived from the Muscogee language, meaning "little ground".[4] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Canoochee" in 1912, with town corporate limits extending in a one-half mile radius from the Savannah and Statesboro Railway depot.[5] The town's charter was officially dissolved in 1995.[6]
