Kelly County

County PG · Port Gellhorn

Kelly County is a county due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI, occupying the southwestern part of the State of Leonida directly west of Vice-Dale County, per westbound Interstate 404 signage in Vice City. It appears to contain the city of Port Gellhorn, the Gellhorn International Raceway, and an outlying prison complex. The county seems primarily inspired by Collier and Lee counties in Southwest Florida.

What Kelly County is on the GTA 6 map

Kelly County covers Leonida’s Gulf-coast panhandle, and its seat is Port Gellhorn — a faded resort-and-industry town standing in for the real Panama City area. This is the other coast: the Gulf side rather than the Atlantic glamour of Vice City, with a working port, motel strips, scrap lots, and the cheaper, rougher end of the map’s economy.

Where Vice-Dale is dense and vertical, Kelly County is spread out and low-slung. Confirmed places here include Port Gellhorn itself, the offshore Draper Island, and the small community of Yorktown. It reads as Bay County, Florida — Panama City and its beaches — the panhandle’s mix of tourism, shipping, and hard luck.

County seat: Port Gellhorn. Real-world resemblance: Bay County, Florida (the Panama City area) — fan mapping, not officially confirmed by Rockstar.

Frequently asked questions

What is the county seat of Kelly County?

Port Gellhorn, the panhandle port town Rockstar has shown as the low-rent, Gulf-coast counterpoint to Vice City. Draper Island and Yorktown also fall inside the county.

What is Draper Island?

A district off Port Gellhorn, inside Kelly County, named in the GTA Wiki’s Leonida geography. Like the rest of the county it sits on Leonida’s Gulf side rather than the Atlantic coast.

What real place is Kelly County based on?

It evokes Bay County, Florida — the Panama City stretch of the panhandle — with the same faded-resort, working-port character. As with every county, the match is a resemblance rather than an official Rockstar statement.
