Though Quitman is the county seat of Brooks County, it’s a relatively tiny city, with a total square area of about four miles and a population of just over 4,000. It’s located right along the border with Florida, in an area of the state that’s pretty rural. You’ll find a lot of charming little towns and farmland in this part of the Peach State, but it’s not typically thought of as having a lot going on. There’s actually a surprising amount to do down in Georgia’s lowest portions, and Quitman is a wonderful town to check out. One attraction here is a delightfully delicious small town staple that’s full of great food and Southern charm: the Royal Cafe of Quitman.

The very southernmost parts of Georgia tend to get neglected for destinations farther north, but there are some charming small towns and beautiful landscapes in this area. One such town is Quitman, which is home to a historic district and many camellia trees.
