History

Formed in 1822 from Houston County, Jones County, Monroe County and Twiggs County

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

Bibb County was created from Houston, Jones, Monroe, and Twiggs counties on December 9, 1822. Over the following decades, Bibb gained small areas from neighboring counties: from Twiggs in 1833, from Jones in 1854, and additional territory from both Jones and Twiggs in 1875.
