About Us

georgia.gov — The Spirit of Georgia

You might find it as you dig your toes in the sand of the Cumberland Island National Seashore. Maybe you'll find it while touring a Victorian mansion in Thomasville. Or maybe, just maybe, you'll find it in the chirping of the crickets as you hike up the Appalachian Trail near Suches. One thing's certain — the spirit of Georgia is easy to catch, in its people, its places, and its atmosphere.

From Atlanta's nightlife to Okefenokee's wildlife. From Athens' music scene to Augusta's putting greens. Whether you golf, fish, hunt, hike, sail, shop, or swim. Whether you eat, sleep, read, write, or lay in the sun and just dream. The spirit of Georgia will inspire you to do it all. Only better.

But truly, the real spirit of Georgia is her people. We are diverse and we're changing all the time, constantly infusing Georgia with new perspectives, new challenges and new traditions that coexist gracefully with our old.

The State of Georgia employees who bring you georgia.gov are a mirror of her population. We are diverse and we are constantly changing. We bring new perspectives even as we build on past experience. We are your neighbors, your softball coaches and your community volunteers. We are proud to be a part of Georgia's 200-year-old government even as we transform it for the 21st century. We are Georgians!

Whether you live here already or you visit Georgia, you'll probably want to stay. Let us introduce you to the Spirit of Georgia and the convenience of state government through the pages of georgia.gov, official website of the State of Georgia.
