Candler County, County in southeastern Georgia, United States
Candler County is a county in southeastern Georgia covering roughly 249 square miles of farmland, homes, and natural areas. The Canoochee River runs through the region and shapes the landscape.
The county was founded in 1914 and named after Allen D. Candler, who served as governor of Georgia from 1898 to 1902. This naming honored a significant leader from Georgia's early modern era.
The population of 10,981 residents represents a mix of cultures, with White, African American, and Hispanic communities shaping local traditions.
Interstate 16 provides direct access to the county seat of Metter, linking the area to larger cities like Savannah and Macon. The region is rural with well-connected highways.
Two river systems, the Canoochee and Ohoopee sub-basins, define the natural boundaries and water flow patterns of the county. These waterways quietly shape the land and how people live there.
