Chattahoochee County, Georgia
Chattahoochee County is one of Georgia’s smallest counties, but it packs a punch. Cusseta serves as the county seat. The county is basically one big military base. That’s right, Fort Benning takes up most of the land. It’s named after the Chattahoochee River, which forms its western border.
The county’s population swells during the day with soldiers and civilian workers, then empties out at night. There’s not much farming left, unlike most rural Georgia counties. Chattahoochee County’s an odd mix of rural Georgia and military precision. You’ve got tanks rolling down country roads and camo-clad soldiers grabbing lunch at the local diner.
It’s not your typical sleepy Southern county. It’s where the sounds of freedom, namely artillery practice, are a daily occurrence. Folks here are proud of their military connection, even if it means the county’s future is tied to decisions made in Washington.
