"Weekends they bar-be-que and have a cold one / They run on a big ol' heart and a pinch of Skoal / That's how country boys roll" -- From "That's How Country Boys Roll," by Billy Currington
Rincon is found in the southeastern part of Effingham County, about 30 miles from the Georgia coast. It's a pretty young town, all things considered -- with just over 8,800 residents, at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. The town was not incorporated until 1927, when the railroad was laid through the area. The name Rincon is Spanish for "corner," and it's believed that the town was named for a Mexican village by the same name, or due to the fact that the railroad within town had a bend in its path. Rincon is unique in its layout: the incorporated city limits of the area form a circle that's two-and-a-half miles in diameter, resulting in a population density of about 650 people per mile. It's not overcrowded, but the folks are friendly, and there's plenty to do. Rincon embodies the feel of small-town Georgia, but remains close enough to bigger cities that the residents can find whatever they need. View Rincon City Guide
