COMPANY HISTORY

In 1951 the name “Ocmulgee Fields, Inc” was chosen to signify our ties to the land and the community of Macon, Georgia. Long before it became Macon, Native Americans commonly referred to the area as ‘Ocmulgee Old Fields.” Our founder, Charles Jones, was very close to the Muscogee Creek Nation and an Honorary Chief.

In 1956 the first hotel property was built to serve the hospitality needs of the community, followed by our first shopping center in 1964. Since then, we have built and managed many properties that have contributed to the economic and cultural life of Middle Georgia.

Ocmulgee Fields, Inc. has a long history of community involvement and has been recognized in many accolades, including the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics and a finalist of the Georgia Family Business of the Year.

Current CEO, Dwight Jones, and his team continue to expand operations primarily in the Agriculture Division, including the first international expansion with the acquisition of prime farmland in South America. As a preferred developer with the General Services Administration, Ocmulgee continues to expand its relationship by adding leases with several Federal and State Agencies. In an attempt to mirror current environmental concerns, Ocmulgee has undertaken several rehabilitation projects of blighted commercial real estate, such as 3330 Northside Dr.in Macon, which is now a beautiful Class A medical facility.

The Company has recently expanded into the financial services industry, providing mezzanine financing for clients in the real estate sector. This is just one way that the company continues to evolve to ensure sustainable operations and community involvement, in the years to come.
