Carroll County was of five counties created by a June 9, 1825
act of the General Assembly from land ceded by the Treaty of
Indian Springs on Feb. 12, 1825 by a group of Creeks led by William
McIntosh. The act did not name the counties but rather designated
the boundaries of five numbered sections and provided for the
survey of each section into land districts and lots. Naming of
the counties did not occur until Gov. Troup signed an act of
Dec. 14, 1826.
Later, the legislature used portions of Carroll County to
create the following counties: Campbell (1828), Heard (1830),
Haralson (1856), and Douglas (1870).
