Welcome to University of Georgia
Welcome to Athens
Consistently named one of America’s best college towns, Athens is not only home to the nation’s first state-chartered university, but also R.E.M., the B-52’s, 16 historic districts, and an amazingly diverse mixture of people, culture, and personality. Since Athens was first chartered in 1806, the city and the University have grown together and thrived, developing a unique blend of traditional southern hospitality and contemporary culture and entertainment.
