Pin Point, Georgia
|
Pin Point is a village in Chatham County, Georgia, eleven miles from Savannah, Georgia at Template:Coor dms. 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; kids attend at a school in a nearby town.
