History
Founded in 1902, as the Forsyth Normal and Industrial School, a private school for African American students in elementary and secondary school, and affiliated with the American Missionary Association. In 1931, the school name was changed to the State Teachers and Agricultural College for Negroes (STAC), and it became an official school for the State of Georgia for the instruction of African American teachers, active between 1931 and 1938. By 1932, it was one of three African American public colleges added to the University System of Georgia.
The State Teachers and Agricultural College for Negroes Women's Dormitory was built in 1936 in a Colonial Revival-style; and the Teachers' Cottage was built in 1929-–1930 in the Craftsman-style. These two buildings are the only two publicly owned African American educational buildings remaining in Georgia, as of 2003.
