Ceres, also known as Hopewell, is a small place in Crawford County, Georgia, in the United States. It is called an "unincorporated community." This means it does not have its own separate local government like a city or town. Instead, it is managed by the larger county government.
Where Does the Name Ceres Come From?
The community of Ceres was named after a very old and important figure from Roman mythology. The name comes from Ceres, who was the Roman goddess of agriculture. She was believed to be in charge of grain crops, how fertile the land was, and even motherly relationships. So, the name connects this place to farming and nature.
