The A on UGA

UGA fans, can you explain why they ever started putting the A on UGA? Yes it is the Athens campus, but is there other UG sites that I don't know about? Normally you see this on satellite campuses (AUM, UAB etc). Is there some history on why this is the case? Always see people making reference to this but never heard why it ever started.
Anyone want to make the transition to UGA format?

I always figured it was more because Georgia is abbreviated as GA. Hence U of GA = UGA. Not so much about Athens.

But the postal code for Georgia wasn't GA until 1963.

UGA I = 1956
Since the dog was named for a term already in use UGA must at least predate 1956
(in response to comment on 2 letter state postal codes)

What did I just read?

I always sorta thought it had dual meaning... as in with the A in 'GA' and teh A standing for athens.
i may be giving them too much credit, though.

The biggest piece to this puzzle is when did they start using UGA. Pre 1963, the postal code for Georgia was Ga. Big G little a. That would be weird to call the university UGA if they were going by the postal code because of the little a. I'm leaning towards the A standing for Athens, because Georgia is a very old state and there are a shitload of universities there, so they needed the extra distinction.

Using the same format, it would be UAL. You really made an idiot out of yourself here

Athens has nothing to do with it man.
University of Georgia
U of GA
UGA
I'm not sure how that was difficult for you. Not every abbreviation is going to follow the same ruling.
