Stillmore, GA

Stillmore got its quirky name around the turn of the twentieth century when postal officials kept rejecting town name ideas and asking for “still more” suggestions. The locals decided to take the request literally, and the name stuck. Today, it is a quiet crossroads town in southeastern Emanuel County where State Routes 57 and 192 meet. Sitting just five miles north of Interstate 16 and fourteen miles south of Swainsboro, it offers simple country living with a straightforward drive to the highway.

For families looking at education options, Stillmore has been home to David Emanuel Academy, an independent private school, since 1969. Students in the public school system head into Swainsboro for class. Everyday life here is peaceful and closely tied to the surrounding pine timber and farming country, making it an appealing spot for anyone who values open space and a relaxed pace.
