Are you searching for information about Southwest Georgia? Maybe you've just moved here or you're planning a visit to one of the Southwest Georgia counties.
Whatever the reason, we're here to help. You might think of this site as an online Visitor's Guide.
We've gathered information about each county in the Southwest Georgia area, as well as the neighboring counties, and placed it online here at Southwest-Ga.com.
This area is known as the Georgia Southern Rivers Region and includes sections of the state that are known as Presidential Pathways and Plantation Trace.
Southwest GA is home to the 39th President of the United State, Jimmy Carter.
His hometown of Plains Georgia, located in Sumter County, is one of the area's most famous tourist attractions.
If you are visiting the area, be sure to visit the farmhouse where Jimmy grew up, just a few miles from Plains, Georgia.
While in the Georgia Southern Rivers Region, people often visit Providence Canyons, also known as Georgia's Little Grand Canyon.
Providence Canyons is located in Stewart County.

| Southwest Georgia's Many Titles |
Peanut fields and pine forests grace the land of our Southern heritage, which helps make the south west area of Georgia an annual hunting location of choice.
There are lots of hunting preserves located in Southwest Georgia which cater to Quail hunts.
Thus, Southwest Georgia is often called the Quail Hunting Captital of the World. But the hunting doesn't stop with just quail.
Each fall, hunters from all parts of the US flock to Southwest Georgia to hunt the White Tailed Deer. For some, South west GA has become a second home!
The southwestern part of Georgia has been known by many titles as you have noticed. The southwestern part of the Peach State is sometimes called "Peanut Capital of the World" and "Quail Hunting Capital of the World". There is still one more.
One of the many crops grown in this part of the state has given it yet another title, "Watermelon Captital of the World".
The city of Cordele has even built a festival around the theme.
You can visit each of the individual counties that we consider as part of Southwest Georgia. There are some who might not be considered as part of Southwest Georgia, but we didn't want to leave out our neighbors!
Just click on the image of Georgia on the right, to go to a larger clickable map to visit the Southwest Georgia county of your choice. (or, if you prefer, use the text links at the bottom of the page)
