Coffee County

Coffee County is an administrative division in southeastern Georgia with diverse terrain including both rural landscapes and water areas. Government offices are centered on McArthur Street, where you'll find the Election Commission, Archival departments, and other administrative services.

The county was established in 1854 and named after the Coffee River, where coffee plants once grew along the banks. The river became an important landmark that shaped the region's early identity.

The annual fair here brings residents together to display local farm products, handmade items, and traditional Southern cooking methods. This gathering shows how deeply the community values its rural heritage and local traditions.

The best time to visit is year-round thanks to mild weather, though summers are warmer. If you want to experience local culture, plan your visit around the annual fair when residents display their products and crafts.

Several farms here are family-run and preserve farming methods passed down through many generations of the same families. These operations show how farming is deeply rooted in the community's identity.
