In 1924, Fort Valley was designated seat of the newly formed Peach County. Fort Valley was the backdrop for a ''Life'' magazine feature story in the March 22, 1943 edition. The World War II-era story focused on the town's sponsoring of the "Ham and Egg Show," a contest held by African-American farmers to highlight ham and poultry production in Peach County, Georgia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Valley, Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
