Waycross

Waycross was first being settled around 1820.  It got its name in the late 19th century because it was known as "the crossing of ways."  Here stood the intersection of many three railroad lines and many dirt roads.  Today, Rice Yard, the largest classification facility in the country, organizes freight cars and moves shipments across the country.
