History
Formed in 1807 from Baldwin County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Originally created as Randolph County on December 10, 1807, from Baldwin County, it was renamed Jasper County on December 10, 1812. The county experienced multiple boundary changes throughout the early 19th century, gaining and losing territory to neighboring counties including Walton, Newton, and Morgan.
