Colquitt County, Georgia
Colquitt County is deep in the heart of south Georgia. Moultrie is the county seat, a town that’s all about agriculture. Farming’s not just a job here, it’s a way of life. Think cotton, peanuts, and vegetables.
The county is named after Walter T. Colquitt, a judge and senator from way back. They call this place the “Capital of the Agricultural South”, and they mean it. The Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition brings folks from all over every October.
Folks here are proud of their farming heritage. It’s the kind of place where tractors share the road with trucks, and everyone waves, whether they know you or not. Colquitt County is facing its challenges, sure, but it’s hanging tough, just like the crops they grow.
