[edit] Routing
State Route 55 begins in Leary, Georgia at the intersection of State Route 37 and State Route 62. It travels north, through rural sections of Calhoun County. Shortly after intersecting State Route 234, the route continues north into Terrell County. The route then continues north to Dawson, where it meets its northern terminus at U.S. Route 82/State Route 520.
[edit] History
State Route 55 at one point continued north to Cusseta along what is now State Route 520, but was superseded, and thus replaced, upon the commissioning of State Route 520. [2]
