Welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Muscogee County,
Georgia.
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 your data contributions.
If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and
instructions on signing up. We're looking for folks who share our
dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this
project be as successful as it can be.
If you have data that you would like to have posted on this website,
please contact us.
Any data we come across will be added to this
site.
We regret that we are unable to perform any personal research for you.

Its county seat
and only city is Columbus, Georgia, with which it has been a
consolidated city-county since the beginning of 1971. The only other
city was Bibb City, which disincorporated in December 2000. Fort
Benning takes up the remainder of the county. The Chattahoochee River
forms its western border with Alabama.
The land for Lee,
Muscogee, Troup, Coweta, and Carroll counties was ceded by the Creek
people in the 1825 Treaty of Indian Springs. The counties' boundaries
were created by the Georgia General Assembly on June 9, but they were
not named until December 14 of 1826.
It was named for the native
Muscogee or Creek people. Parts of the then-large county (which went
all the way east to the Flint River) were later taken to create every
other neighboring Georgia county, including Harris County to the north
in 1827
