Our Community
Someone once jokingly said that �you
know you�re in a small town when you dial the wrong number, but still
talk for 20 minutes�. Those living in Turner County can identify with
that saying. Turner County has all of the charm you expect from a rural
historic county. It does not take but a few trips to the local hardware
store before the owner calls you by name. Children are raised to respect
their elders, and family values are still taught at home. A visitor's
first reaction is often �Everyone here is so friendly.� We like it
that way. We work hard to insure that Turner County stays a close knit
community and a county in which you would like to live and raise children.
Turner County is also a prosperous community located in the heart of South
Georgia. It has Hwy. 41 and I-75 running through the center of the
country, both of which are within two miles of the industrial park. The
Florida line is only an hour's drive, and we are approximately 160 miles
from Atlanta. We are home to many large industries such as Golden Peanut,
the world�s largest peanut processor and CentraPak, who packages candy
for M&M Mars Co. We also have many family owned farms which dominate
our county. In order for you to better know us, we have composed a Community
& Economic Profile which hosts a variety of information. For
specific questions that are not addressed in the profile, please contact

Schools
Although our quality of life standards
for our children start at home, it is important that they are continuously
practiced throughout the school year. The Turner County School System
understands this, and it strives to not only make our schools a safe place
for our children, but also provide them with a good learning environment.
From Pre-K through 12th grade, the Turner County School System has
implemented programs designed to further the education process, promote
creativity, and expose its students to a variety of fields. We are
extremely proud of our school system, especially the progress it has made
in the past few years and would love to tell you more about it. As always,
please contact us for more information.
