The Georgia Military Institute was established on 110 acres (0.45 km2) a mile from the square in Marietta, Georgia on July 1, 1851, on Powder Springs Road. Seven students started classes in July. Twenty-eight men were in attendance at the end of the first year.1
It operated regularly until the spring of 1864 when the cadets were formed into two companies and deployed to West Point, Georgia.
The empty campus was burned by Sherman's troops on November 15, 1864 and never re-built.
