Appling County, Georgia
Appling County sits in the southeastern part of Georgia, about halfway between Savannah and the Florida state line. It’s not a place you’d stumble upon by accident. The county’s been around since 1818, named after Colonel Daniel Appling, a War of 1812 hero.
Folks here know their neighbors. They also know their trees because the county’s thick with pine forests, feeding the local timber industry. Farming’s big too. Apples? Nope, despite the name “Appling”. Think more along the lines of cotton, peanuts, and tobacco.
Baxley serves as the county seat, a small town with a big heart. The Altamaha River forms the county’s northern border, offering prime spots for fishing and kayaking. Warm summers and mild winters define the climate. It’s a slice of rural Georgia life, where tradition and community still matter.
