What it’s like
The place. Cobbtown is a very small city in Tattnall County, Georgia, with a population that makes it feel like a close-knit place where neighbors know one another. Household incomes here run a little above the county's, and typical home values sit at a level many homeowners would find manageable. Winters are mild and short, summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and farming, forestry and mining also employing many people. Across Tattnall County, the largest workplaces include Tattnall County Schools, Bland Farms and Tattnall Hospital Company. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one, so most travel to jobs outside the house.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Jack Hill State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the Ohoopee River is another place to spend a day on the water. Those who like a ballgame can head to Bo Pitts Field, a stadium also a longer drive away. Everything on this list takes some driving, so outings tend to be planned ahead.
