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.
