History

Formed in 1822 from Houston County

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

Crawford County was created in 1822 from Houston County. The county was named after William H. Crawford. Crawford County's boundaries changed multiple times in the 19th century, gaining land from Talbot and Monroe counties in 1827 and 1854, and losing land to the creation of Upson County in 1824 and to Taylor County in 1854.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries; the 5 that matter most are shown first.
