Darton College

Darton College, located in Southwest Georgia, is apart of the University System of Georgia and acts as its two-year unit. Founded in 1963, Darton College was originally founded as Albany Junior College and later offered its first classes in 1966. The name was changed to Darton College in 1987 and was chosen by a group of students, faculty and staff. Since Albany is located on Flint River, the name “Darton” fits perfectly which means “town by the water.”
