Pembroke, the county seat of Bryan County, was incorporated August 23, 1905. The birth of Pembroke is attributable to the construction of the Seaboard Railroad line in the late 1800’s. Pembroke became the county seat in 1937 due to Pembroke's banking, business and transportation prominence. In recent years, Bryan County was deemed most suitable to invest in future industry because of its' location and proximity to major interstates and the port of Savannah. Land is readily available in the area for development. As a result, the Interstate Centre Business and Industrial Park became a vision and materialized as a Class A industrial park.
Richmond Hill, GA is a thriving community along Georgia's colonial coast, and is among the fastest growing communities in the nation. Due to it’s proximity to Savannah, Richmond Hill, in South Bryan, has become a sensible location to settle and raise a family. Richmond Hill continues to grow as an alternative to the increasing congestion and taxes in the nearby metropolis of Savannah. While the City of Richmond Hill is poised for continued growth and opportunity, the Mayor points out that "What makes a good community is a sense of community. That is something evident about Richmond Hill."
