== Fun facts ==
* Although Abbeville has the population to get its own page, it is too adjusted by the presence of the Wilcox State Prison to qualify.
* On April 20, 1921, various people throughout southwest and south-central Georgia observed a meteor trail across the sky which culminated in an explosion and impact at a minimum of four spots slightly north of Pitts. Three fragments of the meteorite were recovered, one falling within a few feet of a child playing outside. It was classified as an iron meteorite. The largest recovered fragment weighed 3.76 kilograms and is currently housed in the Smithsonian Institution Collection. The other fragments remain in private collections. Local accounts and fragments were collected and documented in the Geological Survey of Georgia Bulletin, Issue 29.
* Neither Rochelle nor Abbeville have very much to offer in the way of amenities.
* The county holds an annual marathon, called "Chasing Jefferson Davis," which is held on the Saturday in May closest to May 9, the date Davis left Abbeville with his personal guard en route to Irwin County. The marathon route starts in Abbeville and goes to the historic capture site near Irwinville in Irwin County, Georgia, closely following the route of Union troops.
* The Ocmulgee Wild Hog Festival takes place in Abbeville annually on the Saturday before Mother's Day.
