Welcome ... make yourself at home.
Welcome to Cochran and Bleckley County, Georgia, where Southern hospitality and charm is our way of life.
Bleckley County offers a relaxed rural lifestyle, a strong sense of community, a progressive look to the future and an energetic sense of adventure. Our 13,000 residents are a vibrant mix of small-town boosters, farm families, educators and other professionals, and those connected to nearby Robins Air Force Base who feel more at home here in our inclusive community.
There are many reasons Cochran and Bleckley County has appeal as your new home or the site for your business:
- We are home to Middle Georgia State University’s Cochran Campus, so we nurture smart and educated people.
- Our location, less than an hour south of Macon, Georgia on U.S. 23 and Georgia Highways 26 and 112, puts us within 15 miles of I-16, 25 miles from I-75, and only two hours from the Port of Savannah, so we give business and industry the accessibility they need to get products to market.
- We are touched by the Ocmulgee River and part of the 200-mile Ocmulgee River Water Trail, so we have tons of opportunities for camping, fishing and paddling the waters.
- Our Country Fest in October brings hundreds to enjoy arts and crafts, entertainment, great food, and a street dance, so we know how to have fun.
We invite you to come visit our community, be romanced by our charmed life, and perhaps put down roots. Our friendly people are ready to welcome you to Cochran and Bleckley County, Georgia.
