Decatur County was created from a
portion of Early County by an act of the Georgia
General Assembly on December 8, 1823. Three
other counties, Thomas, Grady and Seminole Counties,
were created from land that was originally part of
Decatur County.
Decatur County is named for U.S. Navy
Commodore Stephen Decatur, a hero of the War of
1812. |
