A GUIDE TO GEORGIA REGIONS

The sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the Peach State… right at your fingertips in Best of Georgia 2023!

I

t’s that first candy-sweet bite of a peach. Pop and fizz of Coca-Cola on a hot day. Salty brine of boiled peanuts. Pulled pork piled high on your plate. Fried green tomatoes, crispy and golden battered. It’s the scent of honeysuckle on the warm breeze. Whisper of surf and hint of saltwater in the air. It’s the sprawling expanse of peanut fields and shade of pecan groves. Sway of Spanish moss on oak branches. Shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon, framing the sunset. It’s Georgia – and all these sights, sounds, smells and tastes can be experienced right here in the Peach State. From the pull of the tides to the regal beauty of mountaintops – and all the main streets, town greens, lakes, barrier islands, rivers and wetlands in between. While “an old, sweet song” keeps Georgia on the minds of so many, it’s the hardworking residents who have staked a claim right here in the Peach State, raising families, bettering themselves and giving back to their communities who keep the Peach State an amazing place to call home. #LoveGeorgia

WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA

This storied region is defined by rich presidential history, spectacular state parks and a true manufacturing powerhouse. When it comes to the local economy, one of the area’s greatest strengths is that it’s attracted major leaders from an eclectic array of industries. In auto manufacturing, Kia runs a prolific $1.8 billion plant in West Point. And with Georgia’s flourishing film industry, AMC’s crowd favorite “The Walking Dead” was filmed here. And of course, Habitat for Humanity is based in the region, in the town adjacent to Jimmy Carter’s hometown of Plains. Speaking of the former President, he still lives in the pleasant farming town of Plains with his wife to this day. Another one of West Central Georgia’s claims to fame is that it was near and dear to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After contracting polio, he visited Warm Springs, Georgia many times (41 to be exact!) to spend time in the thermal spring waters which he heard brought positive results for other polio patients. On a related note, the West Central region is home to Georgia’s largest state park, F.D. Roosevelt State Park. Another must-explore spot is Providence Canyon. With its red clay colors and hot climate, it’s no wonder where it got the nickname, “Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon.” For those adrenaline junkies, catch a ride to the college town of Columbus and go on the world’s longest urban whitewater rafting course. How’s that for an adventure!

In addition to big cities here – Athens, Macon, Warner Robins – this area is home to an impressive number of residences and businesses on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as towns that caught the eye of Hollywood filmmakers. The cities of Monticello, Forsyth and Covington all boast remarkable repertoires of filming locations. Tourism is a big deal here. In Conyers, the Georgia International Horse Park hosts world-class events; Perry is home to the award-winning Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter; and Warner Robins is “the Home of Planes, Trains and Heroes” with like-themed museums. Speaking of history, check out Social Circle (home to the renowned Blue Willow Inn Restaurant); Eatonton (birthplace of authors Joel Chandler Harris and Alice Walker); Madison (a town so beautiful Sherman “refused to burn” it); Milledgeville’s Andalusia Farm (estate of Flannery O’Connor); and, of course, Macon, where you’ll find statues of Otis Redding, an Allman Brothers Band Museum and more music history than you can imagine. And, you just may have heard of a little town called Athens, where the University of Georgia was founded in 1785 – making it one of the most historic public universities in the whole country.

Fore! The Masters is the first thing that comes to mind, of course. Founded in 1934, the Augusta National Golf Club is the home of the ultimate golf tournament, which in previous years has been estimated at making more than a $100 million economic impact on the region. But, beyond the regal green and ... the green it brings in … there’s some other pretty amazing stuff going on in Augusta too. For instance, in 2019, Augusta-Fort Gordon was chosen as the U.S. Army Cyber Command Center “with more than 4,700 high-tech military personnel accommodating the growth in military intelligence, cyber and the National Security Agency (NSA),” according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Georgia’s second largest city, Augusta lies on the Savannah River, supporting a diverse economy while providing lots of recreational opportunities. Not too far away, the town of Evans was voted one of the Best Towns for Families by Family Circle Magazine and is home to Grammy Award-winning band Lady Antebellum -- now Lady A. Gems like Evans can be found all over the region – boasting unique features and trivia, such as the town of Harlem (birthplace of Oliver Hardy, of Laurel and Hardy fame); Louisville, one of Georgia’s former state capitals; and Appling, which has the oldest Baptist church in Georgia and the state’s oldest courthouse that’s still in use.

SOUTH WEST GEORGIA

River and lake fishing, roller coasters, historic farm buildings, peanut fields and some of the state’s biggest employers – from poultry plants to national breweries to paper production – can all be found in this Georgia region. The fishing is positively world-class here. In fact, the Georgia State Legislature has declared Bainbridge the “Bass Capital of Georgia.” Both Lake Seminole and the Flint River are known to attract innumerable anglers every year from around the state, country and beyond, who compete in fishing tournaments. Further north up the Flint River is Albany – quail hunting capital of the world! – where major businesses thrive and unique tourism opportunities abound, including a chance at seeing – but not catching – some of those same fish anglers would just love to land. The Flint RiverQuarium showcases Southwest Georgia’s underwater world, with a 175,000 gallon tank that features 120 different fish, turtles, alligators and other native river critters. On the business angle, Albany is home to one of Procter & Gamble’s major paper products sites, which makes Bounty Paper Towels and Charmin Toilet Paper. In the same city, Molson Coors brews up case after case of icy, cold beverages and employs folks who travel from all over the region to work there. Travel south down the road on Hwy. 133, and you’ll find big businesses in Moultrie, too, like Sanderson Farms, which employs locals in the poultry industry. Further south still – gosh, it’s getting HOT – in Valdosta, you’ll find roller coasters at Wild Adventures Theme Park, exotic animals at the zoo and outdoor adventure opportunities. So, there you have it: thrill rides, worldclass fishing and booming business all right here in the Southwest region.

Look at a map of this region, and you’ll spot some familiar cities such as Vidalia, Statesboro and others. But there’s even more to the Southeast than sweet onions, Allman Brothers Band songs and Georgia Southern University. The region is famous for growing a wide assortment of produce, providing a sportsman’s paradise of hunting and fishing opportunities, scenic recreation destinations … and there’s some good eatin’ down there as well. If you visit Claxton, don’t leave town without trying a world-famous fruitcake – after all, the small town is the capital of the world for these candied confections! Drive 60 miles south, and you’ll find the town of Alma, known as Georgia’s blueberry capital. They’ve even got an annual blueberry festival that recognizes the tart but sweet fruit’s significance in the area. Speaking of celebrations of “sweet” produce, Vidalia has its annual onion festival in the spring, coinciding with the harvest of these juicy bulbs. There’s also a Vidalia Onion Museum, where the youngsters can meet “Yumion” the onion – a mascot and “ambassador” for the city. Other notables: the town of Santa Claus, with Christmas-themed streets and elaborate decorations; Ocilla, which holds a sweet potato festival every year; and many, many more towns with people who are proud of what grows and thrives in their necks of the woods. And, of course, there’s Statesboro – hometown of Georgia Southern University and one of the region’s largest cities population-wise.

COASTAL GEORGIA

Envision miles of coastal beaches, sun-soaked barrier islands – and the seaside towns with boats that ferry you there. Close your eyes and picture century-old oaks dripping with Spanish moss that sway over cobblestone streets, quaint businesses and historic residences. Feel the awe of swamp vistas as you kayak through storied wetlands. There are endless opportunities for postcard-worthy snapshots almost anywhere you end up in this region. There are must-dos most folks have heard of – Savannah, the Okefenokee Swamp, Jekyll, St. Simon’s, Cumberland and Tybee islands – and there’s also a treasure trove of other destinations and thriving business communities where residents and workers have staked their claim amongst an idyllic, but, let’s be honest – HUMID – paradise. In addition to the charm you know it for, Savannah is a thriving deepwater port that’s home to the largest singleterminal container facility in North America and the fourth busiest container handling facility in the country, too. Georgia ports contribute $32 billion to the state economy. There’s also the Port of Brunswick in the Coastal region, made up of three Georgia Ports Authority-owned deepwater terminals. Other communities in this region, like Garden City, Hinesville, Kingsland, Rincon and Springfield – different sizes and home to varied population sizes – are a mix of old, historic charm and economic growth. So, when envisioning the miles of coastal beaches, the alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp or the barrier islands and their sister, seaside towns, remember – there’s a whole lot more to experience in this beautiful region.

COMMUNITY & BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS HUMAN CONNECTION IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS of Georgia’s thriving communities. Our residents are never too busy to take the time to care for one another and are always willing to support neighbors and fellow businesses in need. You see this spirit at work in non-profits and in the social service organizations that serve so many. In the business world, chambers of commerce, convention and visitors bureaus and community improvement districts provide important networking, support systems and opportunities to accomplish common goals in the community. Here are some of the best!


BESTof GEORGIA.com

From our charities to our chambers of commerce, the organizations that serve our community are all winners. This year, the Best of Georgia editors want to recognize the efforts of all of these organizations. Large or small, their good deeds and efforts are worth noting.

THE BEST OF

MANUFACTURING

WHETHER IT’S AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY, paper production, heavy equipment, fabricated metal, flooring, rubber and plastics or chemical manufacturing, people in Georgia are some of the best at building things with their hands – and sometimes with the use of robotic hands. Did you know that advanced manufacturing in Georgia employs more than a quarter million production workers? Manufacturing industries in the Peach State are as varied as the skills of people who live here. These companies are all of the best in their unique specialties.

UTILITIES

THESE FOLKS KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, ensure the water is flowing – both in and out of your home – and, without them, winters and summers indoors would be simply unbearable. They are Georgia’s utility companies, and it’s hard to put a price on the essential services these hardworking men and women perform for Georgians every single day. From the linemen and linewomen hard at work after a storm to water and gas company staff keeping our homes comfortable all year long, these utility workers deserve endless accolades.
