Description
The territory out of which Early County was formed was obtained
by Gen. Andrew Jackson from the Native Americans in 1817
at the conclusion of his march through their territory in southwest
Georgia. In 1818, the legislature of Georgia divided the land into
three counties, Early, Irwin, and Appling. Early County received its
name in honor of Gov. Peter Early, said to be one of Georgia's purest
and ablest statesmen of the day. From 1857 to 1923, the county's 3,750
square miles were divided into a total of 10 counties, leaving Early with
only 514 square miles. From the very beginning, agriculture was the
dominant industry, and Early County became known as "the Peanut
Capital of the World."
