Cedar Park
A rural community area between McRae-Helena and Lumber City
Cedar Park Community
Cedar Park is a rural community area in Telfair County, Georgia, located along Cedar Park Road between McRae-Helena and Lumber City. Though never incorporated as a town, it has long been part of the county’s agricultural, timber, church, and family-centered landscape.
The Cedar Park area developed during the early settlement of Telfair County in the 1800s. It is closely associated with nearby rural communities, including Neilly, where families established homes, churches, cemeteries, and local gathering places.
The area was shaped by farming, timber, and the naval stores industry. Churches and cemeteries in and around Cedar Park served as centers of community life and remain important resources for historical and genealogical research today.
