== Fun facts ==
* Although it has remained a county of small-town communities, Spalding's proximity to Atlanta has attracted new residents from the city. Several regional facilities, including Spalding Regional Medical Center and Southern Crescent Technical College, also draw people to the area. The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences supports a Griffin campus that provides agricultural education, conducts research, maintains an agricultural extension service, and serves the needs of area residents and farmers with information and other assistance.
* Sunny Side is a bit of a speed trap.
* East Griffin and Experiment are mostly extensions of Griffin. Experiment itself is named for the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station located there.
