Location
South Georgia Technical College is located on the outskirts of Americus, in Sumter County, Georgia just southwest of interstate 75. The small town is a part of Sumter County Historic District, because of its history in railroad and technological advances during the mid-1800s. Thanks to local attorney Samuel H. Hawkins Americus was known as the Metropolis of Southwest Georgia because of its major cotton distribution. The college is 32 miles from the greater city of Albany, Georgia and approximately 2.5 hours away from the state’s capital Atlanta. The nearest major (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) serving the state is only 2.5 hours from Americus. SGTC rests on the foothills of American history, because it’s known for being the home of the Habitat for Humanity, and the prominent Windsor Hotel (Americus) (built in 1892).
