 Wilkinson County is an Entrepreneur Friendly county located in the central part of the state, north of Interstate 16 and south of Interstate 20, along Georgia's Fall Line, which divides the Piedmont from the Coastal Plain. The county is approximately 100 miles southeast of Atlanta and 35 miles east of Macon. Created in 1803 from Indian land ceded the previous year, Wilkinson County was named for General James Wilkinson, a veteran of both the Revolutionary War and The War of 1812. The county courthouse is located in the city of Irwinton; there are six other municipalities: Allentown, Danville, Gordon, Ivey, McIntyre, and Toomsboro. The State of Georgia has designated Wilkinson County and her seven cities Work Ready, Entrepreneur Friendly, and as a Signature Community.

Wilkinson County is the hub of several major highways including the newly four-laned U.S. Highway 441, GA Highway 112, and GA Highways 57, 18, and 243. The new Fall Line Freeway will intersect US Highway 441 in the northern portion of the county as part of the connection between Augusta and Columbus. Norfolk Southern and Central Georgia Rail also traverse the rich landscape of the County.

In addition to the strong transportation network, Wilkinson County also has an abundance of natural resources including kaolin, timber and water.

Though steeped in history, Wilkinson County is set to forge ahead. With the construction of the Fall Line Freeway and the planned creation of a state park at Ball's Ferry in Wilkinson County, the horizon for economic development is bright.
