Pike County is considered the one of most pastoral and beautiful counties in central Georgia. The population of just over 16,800 works primarily in the service industries, such as education and health services, but the county is recognized for its farms and small town nature. Three of Pike Countys five municipalities have populations under 500, while Zebulon, the county seat, has roughly 1,200 residents. The county has begun to draw more attention, as families capable of living further away from large cities turn towards communities offering country settings and larger properties. This quiet boom is expected to grow stronger as the City of Griffin constructs its regional reservoir in the southwestern part of the county near Molena. The County has also begun construction of its first industrial park and is exploring options for spec buildings as well.
