From the Univeristy of Georgia history page:

When the University of Georgia was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 27, 1785, Georgia became the first state to charter a state-supported university. In 1784 the General Assembly had set aside 40,000 acres of land to endow a college or seminary of learning.

So from a log cabin on North Campus that graduated its' first class in 1804 to the over 35,000 studying on the 39,000 acres in 30 Georgia counties in 226 years.
