Welcome to Claxton, Evans County, Georgia. As mayor, it is indeed my pleasure to extend to you a warm and friendly welcome to the town of which I am so very proud.

Established in 1890, vision, hard work and generosity played a significant role in Claxton becoming a city. That spirit of community is still vibrant today, evident in the individuals, businesses, and organizations that volunteer to do good things for others.

A mixture of agriculture, industry and small business comprise our local economy. Known as the Fruitcake Capital of the World, our small community enjoys worldwide recognition with our two fruitcake bakeries and with Claxton Poultry as a leading agricultural company. Claxton is ready to help our businesses succeed and we welcome new business opportunities.

Claxton is a wonderful place to raise a family. We enjoy our quiet, safe neighborhoods. We love that community events pull us together and keep us in touch. We invite you to visit and enjoy true Southern hospitality and a quality of life that is hard to match.

On this website, you will find access to information about our government structure, staff and officials, utilities and public works, public safety, city ordinances, on-line bill pay, as well as many of our amenities. We are committed to improving and expanding our ability to provide you with information. We value and encourage your feedback, suggestions and ideas. Let us hear from you.

Thank you for visiting our site. Please know we are ready to assist you in any way possible.
