Gumbranch, GA

Gumbranch (sometimes spelled Gum Branch) is a quiet, rural community in Liberty County, sitting about seven miles west of Hinesville along Highway 196. With only a couple hundred residents, it offers plenty of open space and a peaceful countryside feel rooted in generations of local farming. Longstanding landmarks like the historic Gum Branch Baptist Church give the area a deep sense of heritage, while the surrounding timberland and quiet country roads make it a calm retreat for anyone looking to escape the busier parts of the county.
