This County is available for adoption.
Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing genealogical
and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
This is a continuation of our original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History
and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback
and comments, and of course, your data contributions. If you have data that you would like to have posted on this
website, please contact us.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online
and are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are.
If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and instructions on signing up..

The county was created on February 13, 1854
The county seat is Cusseta, Georgia
The Georgia General Assembly created Chattahoochee County on February 13, 1854 from portions of Muscogee and Marion
counties. It is named for the Chattahoochee River that forms its western boundary. The county seat was named Cusseta
to commemorate the Creek Indian town that used to exist nearby.
The original courthouse, built in 1854 by slaves, is preserved at the tourist attraction of Westville, near Lumpkin,
Georgia.
In 2003, the county and its only incorporated city formed a consolidated Cusseta-Chattahoochee County government
