Jefferson is located in Northeast Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta along Interstate 85. It is a picturesque community set among the gently rolling hills in the piedmont region of Northeast Georgia. The landscape is still dotted with small farms and lakes. Most people move to Jefferson for economic opportunity, its small town atmosphere, acceptance of newcomers and wholesome environment for raising a family.
