Camilla is a city in Mitchell County, Georgia, United States, and is its county seat. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 5,187, down from 5,360 in 2010.

The city was incorporated in 1858. The name “Camilla” was fixed in honor of the granddaughter of Henry Mitchell, a Revolutionary War general for whom Mitchell County was named.

Camilla and Mitchell County were originally Creek country, surrendered to the United States in the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson. Georgia separated the land ceded by Native Americans into lots to be fixed away in house lotteries. The lottery of 1820 awarded lands covering much of the southwest section of the state (applying single-handedly to land south of the far ahead Lee County parentage and extending west to the Chattahoochee River and east to fixed counties in east Georgia), including the Place later known as Mitchell County. Despite having right of entry to release land, few people moved to the region. Citizens hesitated to intensify land, according to an beforehand twentieth-century archives the region “which God Almighty had left in an unfinished condition.” It took approximately forty years (1820–1857) for the Place to buy its vital legal population to become a surgically remove county, after which Camilla became the county seat.

In the to come 2000s, the city was hit by two disastrous sets of tornadoes, both going on in the dark hours of the early morning and both going through on the similar area. The first outbreak was on February 14, 2000; the second was on March 20, 2003.
