Dawson

Among the cities of Georgia, Dawson stands out as the county seat of Terrell County in the state’s southwestern farming country. The city lies near Kinchafoonee Creek, within the broad, low-relief landscape of the Coastal Plain rather than the hill country farther north. Dawson developed after Terrell County was formed in 1856 and remains its civic center, with the courthouse square anchoring downtown. Peanuts, cotton and other crops have long shaped the economy and seasonal rhythm of this part of Georgia. Its position on U.S. Route 82 also places it on an east-west route through southwest Georgia.
