Welcome

Cordele-Crisp County offers the best of all worlds. Cordele has all of the "small town" charm you hope to find in a South Georgia community. Comfortable neighborhoods with shade-covered drives, Victorian and Federal style homes, and an active downtown district are only a few of the amenities which make Cordele an ideal place to live. You will be greeted with a smile and warm welcome by residents ready to share their pride in our community and local business owners eager to make you feel "at home."

Cordele has retained its agricultural roots and this important economic sector continues to play a large part in our success today. As "Watermelon Capital of the World," you will find the summer in Cordele is a vibrant time as the watermelon crop is harvested and shipped nationwide.

Cordele-Crisp's location on Interstate 75 and its rail lines have proved a magnet for new industry and business. In addition, the county owns its own hydroelectric facility which is an advantage to businesses and industries seeking competitive electrical power. Our existing industry is diverse and our location and incentives continue to spur growth.

When it is time to relax, Cordele-Crisp has something for you. Enjoy boating and recreation at Lake Blackshear, golfing at our championship golf courses, or just browsing through our local specialty shops.
