History

Formed in 1827 from Muscogee County and Troup County

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

Talbot County was created from Muscogee County and Troup County on December 14, 1827. The county experienced numerous boundary changes over the following decades, gaining and losing land to neighboring counties including Crawford, Marion, Muscogee, Harris, and Macon between 1827 and 1863.
