Our Community

White County's beauty spans everything from gentle pastoral valleys to breathtaking waterfalls, from the history in a utilitarian pitcher formed from creek bank clay to the thousands of acres under conservation easement protected for our grandchildren's children. Historically isolated by its terrain and the perpetual need to cross rivers to get here, the people who have made this area home set government system in place with an eye to preserving and enhancing both the quality of life and the abundant natural resources.

Nature is on a parade when the seasons change in White County. From the heavy frosts and occasional snowfalls of winter, to the blooming of the dogwoods and azaleas in the spring, to the ripple of the Chattahoochee River in the summer, to the glorious blaze of color that marks autumn in the mountains, White County has it all.

Home to the towns of Cleveland and Helen, as well as the unincorporated community of Sautee-Nacoochee, White County is a prosperous and progressive county that boasts one of the finest public school systems in the state of Georgia and responsible, forward-thinking civic and governmental leadership. In addition, White County has its own four-year college, Truett McConnell College, and Babyland General, home of the Cabbage Patch Kids. Business owners find in White County a wealth of opportunities for success.

Whether you are in White County for a day, weekend, or a lifetime, you will feel very welcome in this beautiful section of Northeast Georgia, where the residents greet you with a warm smile and "Hi, neighbor!"

When the mist hangs suspended in the valleys along the Chattahoochee River, and the whippoorwills call at twilight, and the sun sets in late fall in an array of pink, red, orange, and purple -- at any time of the year, you will know when you drive into White County that you are home.
