Pierce County

Pierce County is an administrative division in southeastern Georgia with Blackshear serving as its county seat. The territory encompasses a mix of farmland and small communities that define the rural character of the region.

Pierce County was established in 1857 by the Georgia General Assembly and named after Franklin Pierce, the 14th U.S. president. Its creation reflected the state's administrative expansion during the 19th century.

The county administration maintains several community centers that host regular gatherings, workshops, and educational programs for residents throughout the year.

County government offices provide residents with essential services including property tax collection, vehicle registration, and building permits. Visitors should verify office hours in advance, as operations in smaller administrative areas may have limited availability.

Pierce County features a network of agricultural lands where farmers cultivate tobacco, cotton, and various row crops as primary economic activities.
