History

Formed in 1801 from Liberty County and Montgomery County

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

Tattnall was created from Liberty and Montgomery counties in 1801, and its boundaries were refined through multiple adjustments with those counties over the following decades. In 1905, the county lost territory to the creation of Toombs County.
