After his father's death in 1953, Jimmy Carter left the U.S. Navy and returned to Plains to take over the family peanut business. The Carters and their three young sons moved into unit 9A of the Dura Apartments, one of six Federal Housing Projects built by the Americus Housing Authority in 1953 in Plains and the nearby towns of Leslie and Andersonville.
