Welcome to Georgia County Snapshots!
First published in 1994, Georgia County Snapshots provides brief descriptions of
the state's 159 counties and has been used by teachers, students, business leaders,
elected officials and others for various research and presentation purposes. It has
become one of the most popular and most requested publications of the
Georgia Department of Community Affairs
(DCA).
County Snapshots provides information on each county’s history, people, economy,
and government in a single publication(there is also a snapshot for the
State of Georgia).
This online publication is a compilation
of data from state and local sources. It represents not only a major effort
on the part of DCA, but also reflects data collection and analysis activities
of many state and federal agencies.
