Welcome!
Welcome to the official government web site of the City of Thomaston, Georgia. Steeped in history tracing back to the early 1800s, the City of Thomaston is a town of about 10,000 residents. Located along the banks of the Potato Creek in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Thomaston is within 60 miles of three of Georgia's major cities: Atlanta, Macon and Columbus, an area also known as the golden triangle. This excellent location provides our citizens with the luxuries of a peaceful rural life along with the benefits that these larger cities have to offer.

Thomaston serves as a multi-county regional hub for state of the art health and medical services, retail centers, educational facilities, employment and business opportunities. For our citizens and businesses, the Thomaston City Government provides extensive residential and commercial services including comprehensive water and sewage services, electrical services, full service garbage pick up along with volunteer recycling, 24/7 fire protection, and a well-trained professional police force.
