Site Submission Basics for Regional Categories
  1. Before submitting a site, be sure to read the category description. Submitting a site to an inappropriate category can greatly delay its consideration.
  2. The relationship of the website to the location must be clear. In most cases, it is preferable if this is shown by an address or local phone number.
  3. When you have located the correct geographic category, submit to an appropriate topical subcategory whenever possible. For best results, compare existing listings.
  4. See More Site Submission Basics.

Athens is a unified city with Clarke County. A consolidated city–county is a city and county that have been merged into one unified jurisdiction. As such, it is simultaneously a city, which is a municipal corporation; and a county, which is an administrative division of a state.

The boundaries of the City of Athens are also those of Clarke County. The government is referred to as "Athens-Clarke County."

Since the boundaries are the same for the city and county most of the sites are listed under the locality of Athens.
