Probably ca. 1955 or so.   An interesting item is how the NE freeway (proposed) was headed towards Gainesville, GA, and then Greenville, SC.  SC actually  built a limited access highway to connect with this route, and then the GA governor who was from Livonia changed the route and it was built to the south, near Livonia, and then SC had to build new freeway that turned south to link with that.

The old freeway still exists in SC, basically heading to nowhere.

I recently learned that many of my ancestors came from Oglethorpe County, Georgia.  And maybe also from Tennessee.  Oglethorpe is close to Athens, Georgia.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

The Day of Two Noons: US and Canada Adopt Standard Time Zones (1883)
Before the adoption of time zones, clocks in the US and Canada were set according to the position of the sun overhead, meaning that time varied according to location. For the rail industry, this presented a logistical nightmare, and so many railroads kept their own time, further complicating matters. Standardization solved everything. On "The Day of Two Noons," train stations reset their clocks according to newly adopted time standards.
