Fitzgerald, County seat in Ben Hill County, Georgia, US

The administrative center of Ben Hill County stretches across south-central Georgia with symmetrical streets that intersect through residential and commercial districts.

Established in 1895 as a settlement for Civil War veterans, Philander H. Fitzgerald founded the city to accommodate both Union and Confederate soldiers.

The city maintains equal numbers of streets named after Union and Confederate leaders, representing the intentional integration of northern and southern heritage.

The municipal government provides comprehensive services through multiple departments, including police, fire protection, and infrastructure maintenance for its 9,000 residents.

The Lee-Grant Hotel stands as one of the first public works projects in the United States, commemorating both sides of the Civil War.
