Sumter County, Administrative division in central Georgia, United States
Located in Georgia's west-central region, Sumter County spans 493 square miles of land with Americus serving as the county seat and main population center.
The county formed in 1831 after the Creek Indians removal, with its name honoring General Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary War commander from South Carolina.
The Rylander Theatre in Americus and the Windsor Hotel from 1892 represent significant architectural elements that shape the county's entertainment and social spaces.
Major transportation routes include U.S. Route 19 and U.S. Route 280, connecting residents to regional centers while supporting agricultural commerce and local business activities.
The Andersonville National Historic Site preserves the location of a Civil War prison camp and now functions as a memorial to all American prisoners of war.
