The 1st doctors begin practicing in Bulloch County
Bulloch History
Roger Allen
Many believe that Bulloch got its first real doctor in 1838. He was Dr. George Ross, who lived by Black Creek. There is a story that one of his trips to resupply himself with medicine in Savannah, Dr. Ross put all of his powders in bags and then packed them in a barrel. He arrived home, only to find out most of the bags had been jostled open.
