Moultrie is the seat of Colquitt County in southwest Georgia, home to nearly 14,700 residents and an active downtown. In the 19th century, a railway was built through the area and timber companies were established. The fertile land quickly attracted farmers and investors and grew into a booming agricultural industry, which is still strong today. "Moultrie is a place where the people living here take pride in always making it better. Our residents are very interactive with the city," says resident Caroline Barber, executive director of the Moultrie Convention and Visitors Bureau and secretary for the Downtown Moultrie Association. Sanderson Farms employs over 1,000 people in the city, and many others here work in healthcare or education. As locals say, what makes Moultrie stand out an additional mile is the community.
Moultrie has the small town feel of a typical South Georgia town.
Sanderson Farms is one of the largest employers in the Moultrie area.

Midcentury homes to the gates of The Preserve at Cobblestone
Much of Moultrie, especially the central downtown area, is still filled with early-to-mid 20th-century homes, which are often marketed as investment properties. The city's median sales price is $252,500, much lower than the national median. Moving away from downtown and toward the city's south side, the lot sizes are larger and homes get more contemporary and sell slightly higher than the city's median. In the early 21st century, developers began introducing gated communities to the local housing market, including The Preserve at Cobblestone.

Award-winning downtown Moultrie
Downtown Moultrie is the heart of the city's activity. It's anchored by the historic Colquitt County Courthouse, built in the Neoclassical Revival style, "We work hard in the downtown association to make sure all business owners are heard, and we're always looking for ways to improve," Barber says. Specialty shops, local restaurants and several governmental buildings flank the 15-block area. For errand shopping, the city's east side has big-box stores, national retailers and grocers, most bunched together at the juncture of U.S. Route 319 and State Road 37.
