Vidalia (/vaɪˈdeɪliə/ vye-DAYL-yə, locally /-ˈdeɪjə/ -⁠DAY-yə) is a city located primarily in Toombs County, Georgia, United States.

[13] In the 1950s, Piggly Wiggly grocery stores opened a distribution center in Vidalia, bringing with it a large influx of jobs as well as railroad business.

At that time, Vidalia served as an interchange junction between the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the Georgia and Florida.

Dot Foods currently occupies most of the old Piggly Wiggly distribution center, with smaller companies leasing space.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 10,785 people, 4,042 households, and 2,499 families residing in the city.Vidalia has a mixed economy, but its largest industry is agriculture.

The 1989 Federal Marketing Order #955 of the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service gave the growers and handlers the legal rights to establish the Vidalia Onion Committee, and it granted U.S. federal protection of the onion's name and production.

Other farmers started growing the same crop, and in the 1940s the Vidalia onion became an item sold to tourists.

The 1,300 square feet (120 m2) space is filled with an array of education exhibits that highlight the sweet onion's economic, cultural and culinary significance.
