Welcome to Blakely
and Early County, Georgia. We are pleased that you would take the time to browse
our site and discover what our town and county have to offer. Blakely is a
quintessential small town of roughly six thousand inhabitants with another six
thousand people living in rural Early County and the towns of Damascus,
Arlington and Jakin. Life here moves at a slower pace, and the people don’t just
use their town, they are a part of it. Blakely is a place where others stop to
help change a tire or ask how you and your family are doing. Shoppers speak to
each other in the stores, and for the most part, everybody knows everybody.
While Blakely and Early County may not always offer the up-scale trappings of
large cities, our main attraction is our people. Instead of a domed football
stadium where strangers crowd into their seats, we have Standifer Field, where
the Early County Bobcats play on Friday nights in the fall and a crowd of former
players and students, parents, and friends gather to cheer the county’s youth.
Instead of large chain financial institutions, we have banks where your teller
knows your name, or you went to school with the loan officer, or perhaps you
just met the bank president at a Howell Park baseball game.
Once again, thank you for visiting this site. We hope that you will give Blakely
and Early County a visit in the future. We look forward to seeing you soon.
