Welcome to Bladen County. We are located in southeastern North Carolina in what is known as the Coastal Plains. Bladen County was first settled by Highland Scots who came to the Cape Fear Valley in 1734 seeking religious freedom. Once North Carolina`s largest county, Bladen received its name, "Mother of Counties," because fifty-five counties have been carved from it. It now contains some 879 square miles and is the fourth largest county in the state. Originally, Bladen contained over 1,000 lakes and was the state`s most beautiful county. The lakes, believed to have been created by a bombardment of meteors 100,000 years ago, have developed into important recreational areas and tourist attractions. Within its present boundaries, seven of them remain. Being fairly close to the Atlantic Ocean, Bladen`s climate is influenced to some degree by maritime conditions in its southeastern portions. Temperatures in Bladen may reach 105ºF in summer and dip as low as 10ºF in winter. Such periods of extreme temperatures are of short duration, usually with several years elapsing before recurrences. The average yearly temperature is 63ºF and the average yearly precipitation is 49.06 inches. Bladen County is abundant in natural recreation areas. There are three rivers within its boundaries, with the Cape Fear River, the largest, bisecting the county. Fishing is reported to be excellent throughout the county. Good hunting is generally limited to squirrel and deer. White Lake is commercially developed and attracts thousands of visitors annually. Bay Tree Lake is a growing private resort development. Jones and Singletary Lakes are state owned parks. The climate is good for outdoor recreation with nine months of moderate weather per year.

Effingham County is nestled between the Ogeechee and Savannah Rivers just north of Georgia’s first City, Savannah. Effingham is steeped in tradition and heritage as one of Georgia’s original counties, yet we are keeping pace with the most modern amenities, solid planning and an eye on our bright future. Effingham County boasts one of the fastest growth rates in the State of Georgia. With the influx of new residents we maintain our home town atmosphere with all the conveniences of a rural suburb. Effingham County has played host too many historically significant characters in Georgia and American History. General Washington spent the night at a tavern along the banks of the Savannah River on his Southern Tour after defeating the British in the American Revolution. Georgia’s Lutheran roots run directly through Jerusalem Church at Ebenezer. General Sherman’s Right Wing passed through Effingham on his storied “March to the Sea” and Georgia’s first Constitutional Governor was born and raised at Sister’s Ferry Road near Clyo. Effingham residents take pride in our past and we are planning for a great future. Effingham is governed by a Board of five commissioners elected from geographic districts and one Chairperson elected at-large. The leadership is dedicated to proper planning, improved infrastructure and sound government practices to lead this County forward. With the addition of a new waste water treatment plant and the creation of new thoroughfares we are expanding our infrastructure to prepare for future growth. We are pioneering the re-use water technology with an eye on protecting our precious natural resources. Our recreation facilities continue to blossom with the new addition of the Sand Hill Ball Park, various walking and biking trails, and fishing and boating opportunities abound.
