Troupville, Georgia is an unincorporated area in Lowndes County, Georgia near Valdosta, Georgia. Troupville was a riverboat landing at the junction of the Withlacoochee river and the Little river. Troupville was first called Lowndesville and was the original county seat.
When the railroad came and killed off the riverboats, Troupeville residents picked up their houses and moved to the railroad, founding Valdosta.
It is the principal city of the Valdosta, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Troupville was a steamboat landing on the Withlacoochee River, but when the Gulf and Atlantic Railroad was built four miles (about 6km) away, the inhabitants simply picked up the town and moved it to the railroad.
Valdosta was once the center of long-staple cotton growing in the United States until the Boll Weevil finally killed the crop in 1917 and agriculture turned to tobacco and pine trees.
