From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ypsilanti (/ˌɪpsɪˈlænti/ IP-sil-AN-tee)[1] is an unincorporated community in Talbot County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[2]
The community's name is a transfer from Ypsilanti, Michigan,[1] itself named for Demetrios Ypsilantis, a leader of the Greek War of Independence. Variant names are "Red Bone" (after its militia district) and "Ypsillanti".[2] A post office called Ypsilanti was established in 1883, and remained in operation until 1916.[3] Once having two cotton gins, it “is now (2010) merely a crossroads with a reported five residences."[4]
