Toombs County, Administrative division in Georgia, United States.
Toombs County spreads across east central Georgia, with Lyons serving as the county seat. Vidalia, the largest municipality, sits within this region in the southeastern United States.
The county was established in 1905 by combining parts of Tattnall and Montgomery Counties. Additional land from Emanuel County was added in 1907.
The county is named after Robert Toombs, a Georgian political figure from the 19th century. His name reflects the region's historical connections and local identity.
The region is served by U.S. Routes 1 and 280, providing access to regional centers. These major roads connect local communities to broader economic hubs.
The region is divided by two different river basins: the north falls within the Ohoopee River drainage, while the south belongs to the Altamaha River drainage. This natural division has shaped local water flow and ecosystems over time.
