History

Formed in 1824 from Crawford County and Pike County

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

Upson County was created from Crawford and Pike on December 15, 1824. Its borders have been adjusted several times through exchanges and transfers with neighboring counties Crawford and Pike over the following decades.
