Some of the major roads in the Eldorendo area are Old Eldorendo Road, Brinson Airbase Road, Donaldson Road and Church Street. The majority of the citizens in the Eldorendo area are of the Christian faith and attend Eldorendo Baptist Church or nearby Bethel Baptist Church. Due to Eldorendo being an Unincorporated City it has no formally recognized Government or City Council or any Public Utilities System. Most residents of Eldorendo use the Brinson Georgia Post Office with a postal code of 39825 however some do use the Colquitt and Bainbridge Post office, Bainbridge postal Code 39817, Colquitt Postal Code 39837. Eldorendo had a Post Office (date and Postal Code unknown). The Eldorendo Post Office was closed due to lack of use and improved road development allowing access to the larger cities in the surrounding area. Since its development Eldorendo has had a small economy mostly consisting of: The Eldorendo Mall (aka LEE'S Grocery), The Grubb's General Store both were in existence from about 1987-1992, Joe's Bait and Tackle, and the Decatur County Fence Company ran by Mr. Archie Smith. Currently one business resides in Eldorendo, a used car lot named Eldorendo Auto Sales owned and operated by Mr. Jackie Grubbs.
