Albany sits at the center of Southwest Georgia,
a storied region closely tied to America’s early
Native American culture, the antebellum age of
the Old South and the timeless sports of fishing
and hunting. Lying below the land around Albany is
the Floridan Aquifer, an ocean of fresh water that feeds
the area’s rivers and creeks and fuels its economy.
Outdoor adventure, the arts, shopping, dining and the
friendliest folks anywhere—Albany has it all! With so
much to see and do, you’ll want to visit again and again.
