History

Formed in 1833 from Murray County

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

Walker County was created from Murray County in 1833. Between 1837 and 1859, the county lost territory to the creation of Dade, Chattooga, and Catoosa counties, and to expansions by Gordon, Whitfield, and Murray counties.
