Fairmount, GA

Fairmount offers a quiet, small-town pace in the rolling foothills of Gordon County, right along U.S. 411. Surrounded by open pasture, winding creeks, and views of the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance, it has a relaxed, rural charm. The community grew out of historic stagecoach routes along Salacoa Creek, and that deep-rooted country heritage still shapes the neighborly atmosphere today.
