Glascock County, Georgia
Glascock County doesn’t need any arm twisting to show off its small-town appeal. It’s one of Georgia’s least populous counties, tucked away in the east-central part of the state. Gibson, the tiny county seat, embodies rural Southern living.
Glascock’s history dates back to 1857. The county’s economy is primarily agricultural, with fields of cotton and peanuts across the landscape. Locals take pride in their tight-knit community and annual events like the Glascock County Fair.
Fishing in the Ogeechee River is a popular pastime for residents. While Glascock may lack big-city amenities, it makes up for it with genuine hospitality. The county faces challenges common to rural areas but maintains a resilient spirit. Glascock County showcases old Georgia that’s becoming increasingly rare.
