The county has almost no natural lakes, and its 0.7 square miles of water are mostly farm ponds and stream corridors. It borders Warren County to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/jefferson-county-georgia\/\">Jefferson County<\/a> to the southeast, Hancock County to the northwest, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/washington-county-georgia\/\">Washington County<\/a> to the southwest.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Glascock County had 2,884 residents at the 2020 census, spread across Gibson, the largest community, and Mitchell, the second largest. That works out to roughly 20 people per square mile, one of the lowest densities in Georgia. Median household income in the county trails the Georgia median of $74,632, reflecting its small, agriculture-based economy.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Agriculture drives the county&#8217;s economy, with row crops, timber, and poultry operations dominating the land outside Gibson and Mitchell. Glascock County High School, the county&#8217;s only public high school, anchors community life in Gibson alongside the county courthouse. Georgia&#8217;s status as the country&#8217;s leading peanut- and poultry-producing state is felt directly here, where farm income remains the backbone of household earnings.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Glascock County was created on December 19, 1857, from parts of neighboring counties, and is named for Thomas Glascock, a Georgia soldier who served in the War of 1812 and rose to general in the First Seminole War before representing Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives. The county has remained overwhelmingly rural and agricultural since its founding, with Gibson serving as its seat and only sizeable town throughout its history.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>State Routes 80, 102, 123, and 171 cross the county, linking Gibson to the surrounding region; there is no interstate access within the county itself.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sparta &mdash; 20 miles northwest<\/li>\n<li>Sandersville &mdash; 20 miles southwest<\/li>\n<li>Louisville &mdash; 20 miles southeast<\/li>\n<li>Warrenton &mdash; 15 miles north<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Augusta Regional Airport, about 45 miles to the northeast.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Glascock County, Georgia?<\/strong><br \/>It is in east-central Georgia, between Augusta and Milledgeville, bordered by Warren, Jefferson, Hancock, and Washington counties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Glascock County?<\/strong><br \/>2,884 at the 2020 census, making it Georgia&#8217;s fourth-least populous county.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Glascock County?<\/strong><br \/>144 square miles (373 km2) of land and water, the fourth-smallest county in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Glascock County?<\/strong><br \/>Gibson is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Glascock County?<\/strong><br \/>Three incorporated places &mdash; Gibson, Edge Hill, and Mitchell &mdash; plus several unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Glascock County?<\/strong><br \/>30810 (Gibson) and 30820 (Mitchell).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is the county named Glascock?<\/strong><br \/>It honors Thomas Glascock, a War of 1812 soldier, First Seminole War general, and U.S. representative from Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/georgia\/\">Towns and villages in Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glascock County is a county in Georgia, United States, in the east-central part of the state, roughly 40 miles east of Milledgeville.
