Welcome
home to the City of Cornelia

Nestled in the heart of Northeast Georgia, Cornelia has been a center of commerce and community since 1887. For over a century, we have served as the industrial and retail hub for Habersham County, but we are defined by much more than just business.

Cornelia is a city where neighbors know each other and history comes alive. From the scenic beauty of our carefully maintained parks to the character of our historic sites, we offer a quality of life that is second to none. It is a place where tradition meets progress—making it the ideal setting to raise a family, build a career, or launch your next business venture.

We invite you to explore everything our community has to offer.
