West Bros. Gro., Your Rio Store,

Rebecca, Turner County, Georgia, 2002.

c. Brian Brown

Rebecca (pop. 246), a whistlestop near the Alapaha River founded in 1904, was, like many South Georgia towns, much busier in the days when cotton was king and passenger train service was the rule. This store is now closed, but its fading sign hints of a much more prosperous past.
