Fayette County is considered “the Pearl of Metro Atlanta’s Southern Crescent Region” due to its superb location, superior educational system, low crime rate and business-friendly environment. Since its inception in 1821 when the state of Georgia created Fayette County in honor of Marquise De Lafayette, a Revolutionary War hero, the county has flourished. Its suburban feel and urban convenience has made it into one of the most favored communities in America. The county’s family oriented community offers many incentives to its residents and business owners with its six golf courses, two amphitheaters, athletic programs, quality shopping centers, and wide range of businesses from small startups to large corporations. The comfort and convenience provided by Fayette County led the Wall Street Journal to name it as one of the nation’s most attractive communities for corporate and family relocation.
