History

Founded in 1818

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Appling County was created from Non-County Area on December 15, 1818. In its early years, the county lost territory to the formation of Telfair, Ware, and Pierce counties, while also gaining and losing small areas through boundary adjustments and private accommodations.
