History

Formed in 1809 from Wilkinson County

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

Twiggs was created from Wilkinson in 1809. Over the nineteenth century, Twiggs lost significant territory to Bibb through a series of boundary adjustments, with the largest losses occurring in 1875 and 1876.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries; the 5 that matter most are shown first.
