| Early County was one of seven counties
created on Dec. 15, 1818, by an act of the General Assembly from
Creek lands acquired in 1814 by the Treaty of Fort Jackson. Originally,
Early was a very large county, occupying much of the southwestern
corner of the state. Later, portions of Early County's original
boundaries were used to create the following counties: Decatur
(1823), Baker (1825), Clay (1854), Calhoun (1854), and Miller
(1856). Other counties created from these five counties and falling
within Early's original boundaries are: Dougherty (1853), Mitchell
(1857), Grady (1905), and Seminole (1920). Also a portion of
Thomas County (created in 1825) falls in Early's original boundaries. |
