The Sumter County Development Authority is a Georgia public authority created to serve the county's interests and its cities: Americus, Andersonville, Cobb, DeSoto, Leslie & Plains. Our economic development team has been entrusted with the county's future growth because of proven outside-the-box thinking, innovation, & creativity.
This is our simple superpower!
Named for Hernando de Soto, the town was incorporated in 1889, covering 0.8 miles, with 214 residents.
Plains has earned international renown for being the birthplace of our 39th president, Jimmy Carter.
Named for Leslie Bailey, a Victorian lady, Leslie, Georgia is in proximity to two prominent schools.
Americus is a town of 'full history,' located almost directly in the center of Sumter County.
The civil war village of Andersonville still stands, but the town is most noted for its part of Wreaths Across America.
