Strategically located between the mountains and the shore, Jenkins
County is in the Classic South region of Georgia. Located fifty
miles south of Augusta and thirty miles north of Statesboro on US
Highway 25, Millen and county residents are in the perfect location
to enjoy quiet, relaxed, hassle-free living while being within a
half-hour or hours drive from quality restaurants, shopping,
entertainment opportunities, movies, museums, leading edge medical
facilities, and any other "city"
things one could want. South Carolina and Georgia beaches are only
two hours away; Atlanta and Jacksonville are three hours away and
the north Georgia and North and South Carolina mountains are a four
hour drive.
Founded in
1905, Jenkins County is one of the smallest counties in Georgia with a
population of about 8,500. Millen, the county seat and only metropolitan
area in the county has a population of 3,500. The county and city retain the
small town rural atmosphere.
