Warren County is located in eastern Georgia, roughly halfway between Augusta and Atlanta. Known for its peaceful rural setting, the county is centered around Warrenton, the county seat, which was named in honor of Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren.

Outdoor recreation is a major part of life in Wayne County. The Altamaha River forms the county’s northeastern border, providing excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. The river’s scenic beauty makes it a favorite destination for both residents and visitors.

Timber and agriculture have long been the backbone of the local economy, with expansive pine forests and productive farmland covering much of the county. Each fall, the annual Jaycee Fair brings the community together with rides, exhibits, entertainment, and family-friendly activities, celebrating Wayne County’s strong traditions and welcoming spirit.
