Columbia County, Georgia, established in 1790 and positioned along the Savannah River, is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation. Money Magazine named Evans, Georgia as #1 Best Place to Live in America. The surge in population and recognition can be attributed to rising incomes, a strong public school system, an expanding retail sector, low crime, and consistent recognition by CNBC and Area Development Magazine recognizing Georgia as the #1 state for business.
