Welcome to Eastman, Georgia

Eastman, Georgia is located in the very heart of Georgia and is the seat of beautiful Dodge County.

Eastman was founded in 1871 as the seat of the newly formed Dodge County. It was incorporated as a town in 1873 and as a city in 1905. Eastman is named for W. P. Eastman, who, with W. E. Dodge, presented the county with a courthouse.
