The Seminole County Georgia map covers Georgia’s extreme southwestern corner, where the state meets Alabama and Florida. Donalsonville is the county seat, Iron City is the second incorporated municipality, and Lake Seminole shapes much of the southern landscape.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 9,162 residents in 2025, compared with a 2020 census count of 9,147. Farming remains important, while fishing, boating, and lake recreation add a strong visitor economy.

Lake Seminole at Georgia’s Southwest Corner
Lake Seminole was created in 1957 after completion of Jim Woodruff Dam at the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. The reservoir extends across the Georgia–Florida border and supports bass fishing, boating, camping, and wildlife habitat.
The lake transformed the county’s southern edge by flooding former river-bottom land and creating a broad recreation area. Fishing tournaments and lake-oriented businesses remain closely associated with the county.

Georgia’s 156th County
Seminole County was carved from the western part of Decatur County. Voters ratified its creation on November 2, 1920, and the county began operating on January 1, 1921.
The county name honors the Seminole people, whose history is tied to the broader borderlands of southwest Georgia and north Florida. Donalsonville became the seat, and the Beaux-Arts courthouse completed in 1922 remains the only courthouse in the county’s history.

Early industries included turpentine, timber, and farming. Peanuts, cotton, corn, livestock, and related agricultural services continue to shape the local economy.
Donalsonville contains county offices, schools, businesses, the historic Olive Theatre, and community events such as the annual harvest festival. The city acts as the service center for farms and lake communities across the county.
