Richmond County, Georgia
Richmond County is home to Augusta, Georgia’s second-largest city. Located along the Savannah River, Augusta’s Broad Street hums with shops, restaurants, and the occasional street festival. The Masters Tournament puts Augusta on the global stage each spring, transforming the city into a golf mecca.
This isn’t your typical county setup, as Augusta and Richmond merged governments in 1996. The area’s been a pivotal player since 1777, named after the Duke of Richmond. Fort Gordon adds a military flavor, bringing tech jobs and diversity.
You’ll find a mix of antebellum mansions and modern medical complexes here. The Augusta Canal offers a green escape right in the city. Try not to fall in love with Georgia’s urban-meets-Southern charm. That’s Richmond County for you.
