Georgia has some darn friendly places. There’s a reason why the term “Southern hospitality” is equated with the Peach State. Visitors always comment on how friendly and welcoming the residents of Georgia are. In fact, there is even one small town which has earned the title of the friendliest small town in Georgia and it may not be the town you expect…

Wrightsville, Georgia has a population of just over 2,000 residents.

But what’s remarkable about that, is that the small town only covers about 3.5 square miles in total.

Besides the fact that the water tower in this small town reads “Wrightsville, the Friendliest Town in Georgia”…

The residents think so, too!
