Peach County: The World�s Peach Paradise is a delightful visual history that features a newly discovered and quite remarkable photographic collection and brings to life one of the most formative periods in Peach County�s history. The 1920s were a magical time in Peach County, Georgia.
For one day every year from 1922 to 1926 a Greek-style event in fairy-tale fashion�the Peach Blossom Festival, the precursor of the Georgia Peach Festival�was held in honor of the peach in the county seat. The peach was of tremendous importance to the economy and people of Peach County, and when Fort Valley decided in 1922 to host the first Peach Blossom Festival and to invite the world, the world
responded. Thousands came for the festivals, which were said to rival Mardi Gras and California�s Rose Festival, and which even attracted the attention of National Geographic and Hollywood movie studios.
