Jenkins County

Jenkins County is an administrative division in southeastern Georgia with rural farmland and small residential communities. The Ogeechee River forms its eastern boundary and shapes the county's landscape.

The Georgia State Legislature established the county in 1905 and named it after Charles Jones Jenkins, who served as Governor of Georgia from 1865 to 1868. This creation was part of the reorganization of Georgia's administrative divisions in the early 1900s.

Throughout the year, residents gather at local festivals celebrating agricultural traditions and seasonal harvests. These events reflect the strong bonds that connect this rural community.

County government offices are located in Millen and handle public records, business licenses, and property matters during business hours. Visitors can access these administrative offices and courthouse facilities during standard operations.

The Ogeechee River in the area is a known fishing spot where redbreast sunfish can be caught, a species native to southeastern waterways. These fish attract anglers seeking the quiet waters and natural setting.
