History

Formed in 1859 from Randolph County and Stewart County

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

Quitman County was established on March 1, 1859, from Randolph and Stewart counties. Over the following decade, it gained territory from Stewart County through multiple exchanges and additions between 1860 and 1871. In 1869 and 1875, Quitman County also gained land from Clay County.
