ricce

Ricce is a small, unincorporated community located in the southeastern region of the United States, primarily associated with the state of Georgia. Situated in the southern part of the county, it is part of the larger metropolitan area of Savannah. The name "Ricce" is believed to derive from the local Native American term for the area, though the exact origin remains unclear.

The community is characterized by its rural setting, with a mix of agricultural land, residential areas, and light industrial development. Historically, Ricce has been tied to the region's farming economy, particularly the cultivation of crops such as peaches, pecans, and cotton. Over time, its proximity to major transportation routes, including Interstate 95 and the Savannah River, has contributed to its gradual growth and development.
