Thomasville is a city preparing for the future.
Progressive city leaders and a dynamic business community are working together to make the city a great place to live, work, and do business.
The city is located in Clarke County, which is bounded by mighty rivers on the east and west.  Huge pines and hardwood forests dot the gently rolling countryside, providing a haven for those who love the out-of-doors.  Whether you love hiking or hunting, fishing or camping, there's plenty to do here.  The city's recreational program offers organized sports for all ages, and eight parks provide a range of activities and facilities.
A thriving trade hub for the surrounding rural area, Thomasville provides excellent shopping opportunities as well as a variety of restaurants.  
Clubs and civic organizations keep volunteers busy, and a senior center offers reduced meals for the elderly plus games, exercise, and activities.
Come visit us and see for yourself why you'll want to call Thomasville "Home".
