History

Founded in 1825

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

Originally created as Section the First in 1825 from non-county area, it was renamed Lee County in 1826. Over the following decades, Lee County was reduced through the creation of several neighboring counties—Muscogee and Marion in 1827, Randolph in 1828, and Sumter in 1831—and further adjustments led to the loss of territory to Terrell County in 1856.
