Welcome back to 1977, where Lowndes County’s population was a mere 67,500 people and times were much different. Population is not the only thing that has grown for our area over the years. Business and development has too. In honor of “Throwback Thursday,” we cracked the vault and found this gem, a copy of the 1977 Edition of the Valdosta Promotional book. Click the link below to take a look! Valdosta Promotional book by Chamber of Commerce, 1977 Being able to look back on the Valdosta-Lowndes County area in 1977 gives us an idea of how much growth and progress we have made since then. In addition, it shows what a solid foundation was laid for that growth to happen just over 39 years ago.
