Located in the western portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest in the Appalachian foothills of Northwest Georgia, Murray County offers beautiful scenery, an abundance of recreational opportunities, and a rich history that attract residents and tourists alike.

Founded in 1832, Murray County is a place where people are dedicated to community.  Events including the Red and Gold Leaf Festival, the Murray County Spring Festival, an Appalachian Wagon Train, and the annual Blackberry Festival, along with Carter’s Lake, Fort Mountain State Park, 34,000 plus acres of wilderness area, and many historic sites provide ample opportunity for entertainment, recreation, and fellowship.

Once primarily agricultural, Murray County’s economy has diversified, now featuring an emphasis on the manufacturing sector with a specialization in the production of carpet.  In an attempt to further diversify its economy and become a community-of-choice for businesses and workers, Murray County’s leadership has launched this visioning process with the goal of ensuring that the County is able to grow and thrive in the New Economy.
