Murray County was created from Cherokee County on Dec. 3,
1832 by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1832, p. 56).
According to its original boundaries, Murray County comprised
the entire northwest corner of Georgia (see
map). Later created entirely from Murray County were Walker
County (1833), Dade County (1837), and Whitfield County (1851).
