Comments
A Georgia Resident writes:
Anecdotally, “Several older African Americans have told me that nearby Watkinsville in Oconee County was literally a “sundown” town. But in fact now has a small black population.”
Note: pre-1990 Census data is for Oconee County.
In 1990 Watkinsville was no sundown town but was 10% black.
