Towns & Villages in Jackson County<\/h2>\n

Jackson County has nine incorporated places — six cities and three towns — along with unincorporated communities such as Arcade and Maysville, which have no municipal charter of their own. Georgia does not use CDP designations for most of these small places, so several have no separately reported 2020 population.<\/p>\n
