== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Atkinson County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* In 2003 it had the highest illiteracy rate of any U.S. county at 36%.
* Willacoochee is a name derived from the Creek language meaning "home of the wildcats".
* Early industry in Atkinson County depended on the pine forests covering much of the land. Logging operations used the Satilla River to float timber to the coast. Later, farming (tobacco, corn, and poultry) displaced logging as the central economic activity. Poultry continues to be an important industry, and the main agricultural crops are peanuts, cotton, corn, and tobacco.
