Columbia County's Largest City
Welcome to Grovetown, the largest city in Columbia County, Georgia, set along the I-20 corridor west of Augusta and close to Fort Eisenhower.
Grovetown is a city in Columbia County, Georgia, in the east-central part of the state within the Augusta metropolitan area and the Central Savannah River Area. It lies along the I-20 corridor just west of Augusta and north of Fort Eisenhower, a major U.S. Army installation. At the 2020 census, Grovetown had a population of 15,577, and it is the largest of Columbia County's two incorporated cities. The city has grown substantially as the Augusta area has expanded westward and as Fort Eisenhower has developed into one of the region's largest employers. That growth has brought new residential subdivisions and commercial development along the major highway corridors, while the city's older core retains a small-town character. The presence of the Army installation gives Grovetown a distinctly military-friendly identity, with many active-duty families and civilian employees choosing to live in the city. Public education is provided by the Columbia County School District, which is consistently regarded as one of the stronger districts in the Augusta region. The district operates elementary and middle schools and four high schools, with students zoned by geographic area. Grovetown offers parks, greenways, and a full calendar of community events managed by the city's Leisure and Recreation Department, including Spring Fest, a July 4th celebration, and a Christmas Parade. Gateway Park, one of Columbia County's newer facilities, is located in the city. With I-20 and U.S. Highway 78 providing direct routes into Augusta, residents enjoy convenient access to the region's medical centers, shopping, dining, and the cultural and recreational offerings of the broader Augusta area.

City Guide
Grovetown's housing stock includes a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions built as the city has grown with Augusta's westward expansion. Homes range from mid-century ranches to newer single-family construction, with a substantial share of the housing market tied to military families assigned to Fort Eisenhower. The city has been recognized locally as a more affordable option than some of the more established Columbia County communities, and its steady growth has brought new residential development along the I-20 corridor.
Grovetown's neighborhoods include both long-established residential streets near the city's historic core and newer subdivisions. The city is the largest in Columbia County and has absorbed much of the county's residential growth, with neighborhoods clustered near the I-20 interchange and the Gordon Highway and Wrightsboro Road corridors.
