In its early history, Carroll County was often called the "Free State of Carroll" because of its large size and independent character. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains - the county is located in the West central section of Georgia on the Georgia - Alabama line with 495 square miles of beauty, recreation and history. Its close proximity to Atlanta (45 miles) affords businesses and residents the opportunities of "big-city" convenience in a small town lifestyle.

Carroll County Georgia is situated in the midst of the rolling northwest Georgia countryside and offers a mixture of culture, history and economic growth with country living and a relaxed lifestyle.
