Lee County

Lee County is an administrative division in eastern Alabama encompassing both urban and rural areas. The region lies along the Chattahoochee River and includes several communities with distinct local characters.

The county received its administrative status in 1866 during the post-Civil War reconstruction period. It was named after a Confederate military leader from that era.

The county maintains public libraries and community centers that form gathering places for residents. These spaces host educational programs and local events throughout the year.

County administration handles property tax assessments, vehicle registration, and building permits for residents. Plan visits during standard business hours to access these services.

An annual county fair takes place here bringing together local farmers, artisans, and performers. This autumn event showcases regional agricultural traditions and handmade crafts from the community.
