It was created on February 20, 1796.
The county seat is Lincolnton, Georgia

On February 20, 1796 Lincoln County became the twenty fourth county in the state of Georgia. Before then it was part of Wilkes county which is just west of Lincoln County. Lincoln County was named after an American patriot from the revolutionary war named General Benjamin Lincoln. He was born in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1733, and also played a big role in the John Burgoyne’s campaign. Some say in a very popular myth that he played a major role in the surrender of Yorktown in 1781. In 1809 he retired and soon died in 1810.
