Ben Hill County, Georgia
Ben Hill County is in south-central Georgia. Fitzgerald’s the county seat, a town with a quirky Civil War history. The county is named after Benjamin Harvey Hill, a U.S. Senator who wasn’t a fan of secession.
Farming is still big here. Think peanuts, cotton, and tobacco. The Ocmulgee River forms part of the eastern border. It’s good for fishing if you’ve got the patience. Summers are blazing hot. Winters are short and mild.
Wild chickens roam Fitzgerald’s streets, a leftover from an old festival. Ben Hill County isn’t flashy. It’s just a slice of rural Georgia life, where folks like their peace and quiet.
