Quitman County

Quitman County extends across the western region of Georgia, encompassing agricultural lands, forests, and multiple waterways within its boundaries.

The county received its designation in 1858, named after General John A. Quitman, who served during the Mexican-American War and later became governor of Mississippi.

Georgetown, the county seat, organizes regular community gatherings that bring together residents for seasonal celebrations and local traditions throughout the year.

The county administration offices in Georgetown handle all governmental services, including property tax collection, vehicle registration, and public records management.

The county maintains several public access points along Lake Walter F. George, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation.
