Eastman is a city in Dodge County, Georgia, United States. The population was 4,962 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Eastman city, Georgia )〕 The city was established in 1872, and is the county seat of Dodge County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The first Stuckey's store, now well known throughout the Southeastern United States, was founded in Eastman in 1937. ==History== Eastman was founded in 1871 as the seat of the newly formed Dodge County. It was incorporated as a town in 1873 and as a city in 1905. Eastman is named for W. P. Eastman, who, with W. E. Dodge, presented the county with a courthouse. During that same time period, Ira Roe Foster, former Quartermaster General of Georgia, operated a sawmill in Dodge County. In 1869, Foster built a residence in what would become Eastman. Foster was one of many who came to the area to participate in the sawmill boom. During the boom, it was estimated that, on average, there was one mill every two miles along the industrial corridor created by the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. Unlike earlier eras, when timber was transported downstream in large river rafts, sawmills along the industrial corridor shipped their timber by rail. In his book ''The New South Comes to Wiregrass Georgia 1860-1910'', author Mark V. Wetherington states: "Ira R. Foster shipped lumber to Brunswick, where it was loaded onto timber schooners and transported to international markets like Liverpool, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana."〔 When Eastman was incorporated in 1872, Foster served as its first mayor.
