Pin Point, Georgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pin Point is a village in Chatham County, Georgia, in the United States; it is located eleven miles (18 km) from Savannah, Georgia at 31°57′11″N, 81°5′33″W. In 2002 the population was 275.

The town is best known as the birthplace of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas (the sign announcing the town says as much).

A rural settlement founded by freed slaves after the American Civil War, Pin Point is a mile wide and a mile and half long, and has been accessible by paved roads only recently.

There are few social facilities and no school; children attend a school in a nearby town.
