How counties work in Georgia

Each Georgia county has a county seat and an elected board of commissioners. Several cities have merged with their counties into consolidated governments:

  • Athens-Clarke County (Clarke County)
  • Augusta-Richmond County (Richmond County)
  • Columbus-Muscogee County (Muscogee County)
  • Macon-Bibb County (Bibb County)

Atlanta is not consolidated. The city lies mostly in Fulton County, with a smaller part in DeKalb County. Fulton County took its present long, narrow shape in 1932, when it absorbed Campbell and Milton counties.
