Mayor's Welcome

Whether you have come upon our Web site as a resident or if you're looking for a wonderful place to visit, the city of Clarkesville is glad you're here. Not only is Clarkesville a busy little town full of friendly people and thriving businesses, we pride ourselves in being the most historic town in northeast Georgia. We make every effort to preserve our Southern heritage through maintaining hisoric sites and natural areas while growing with the 21st century. We have something to offer everyone who appreciates small-town life away from big-city noise and traffic.

We hope that we have included a bit of everything about our quaint town on this Web site. The heart of our city is On the Square, where the symbol of our town, the Gazebo, is located. Unique shops, theater, and good restaurants await you, and a variety of businesses of all kinds can be found in outlying areas close by.

Our air is clean, our water is pure, and we invite you to partake of our hospitality. Our doors are always open. Come see us!
