Terrain is gently rolling upland, mostly forest and farmland, with the Flint River forming part of the county&#8217;s boundary. Of the county&#8217;s 219 square miles, 216 square miles are land and 3.3 square miles are water.<\/p>\n<p>Pike County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/spalding-county\/\">Spalding County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/lamar-county\/\">Lamar County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/upson-county\/\">Upson County<\/a> to the south, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/meriwether-county\/\">Meriwether County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Pike County&#8217;s population was 18,889 at the 2020 census. Zebulon, the county seat, and Williamson are its two largest incorporated communities. Georgia&#8217;s median household income is $74,632; Pike County, a mostly rural county within commuting distance of metro Atlanta, generally runs close to that figure, though an exact county-level number is not confirmed here. Population density is roughly 87 people per square mile.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Pike County&#8217;s economy centers on agriculture, forestry, and small-scale manufacturing, with a growing share of residents commuting north toward Griffin and metro Atlanta for work. Cattle farming, hay, and timber remain common land uses across the county&#8217;s rolling countryside, alongside a steady rise in horse farms and rural residential subdivisions drawing Atlanta-area commuters.<\/p>\n<p>Zebulon serves as the county&#8217;s government and commercial hub, home to the Pike County Courthouse and the county school system, which runs a single K-12 pipeline of elementary, middle, and high schools. Pike County High School&#8217;s athletics and the annual county fair are among the community&#8217;s main local gathering points; there is no major industrial employer headquartered in the county, and most manufacturing and retail jobs are concentrated in neighboring Spalding and Upson counties.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Pike County was created in 1822 from part of Monroe County. It was named for Zebulon Montgomery Pike, the army officer and explorer who led the 1806 expedition that first sighted the Colorado peak later named Pikes Peak in his honor; he was killed in the War of 1812 before the county was formed. The county seat, Zebulon, takes its name from the same namesake.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. Routes 19 and 41 and Georgia State Routes 3, 7, 18, 74, 109, and 362 cross the county.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Griffin, Georgia &mdash; 15 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Thomaston, Georgia &mdash; 15 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Atlanta, Georgia &mdash; 55 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Newnan, Georgia &mdash; 25 miles west<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly an hour&#8217;s drive to the north.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Pike County, Georgia?<\/strong><br \/>It is in west-central Georgia&#8217;s Piedmont region, about 55 miles south of Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Pike County?<\/strong><br \/>18,889 at the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Pike County?<\/strong><br \/>216 square miles (560 km2) of land plus 3.3 square miles of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Pike County?<\/strong><br \/>Zebulon is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Pike County?<\/strong><br \/>Five incorporated cities &mdash; Zebulon, Concord, Meansville, Molena, and Williamson &mdash; plus the Hilltop CDP and several unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Pike County?<\/strong><br \/>30295 (Zebulon), 30292 (Williamson), 30258 (Molena), 30206 (Concord), and 30256 (Meansville).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is Pike County named after?<\/strong><br \/>Explorer and army officer Zebulon Montgomery Pike, when the county was formed from Monroe County in 1822.<\/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>Pike County is a county in Georgia, United States, in the Piedmont region south of Atlanta.
