Rincon is a city in Effingham County, Georgia, United States. The population was 4,376 at the 2000 census. The City of Rincon, in the southeast area of Effingham County, was first incorporated as recently as 1927. Even though its incorporation was not that long ago it appears that the earliest settlers came to the area in 1751. But, its existence as a full-fledged community with families and businesses dates back to the late 1800's. The origin and development of Rincon, Georgia really got its start with the coming of the railroad. Around the time of the turn of the century a rail line was built from the Carolinas across the state line at the Savannah River and southward to Savannah. The name of the city is believed to have had its origin from the Spanish or Mexican name "Rincon" after a small but prosperous town in Mexico. Once the railroad and depot were built a telegraph operator or agent is known to have been on duty as early as about 1895. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
