Crisp County was created on Aug. 17, 1905 by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1905, p. 52). Created entirely from Dooly County (click here to see legal description of the county's boundaries), Georgia's 138th county was named for Charles F. Crisp (1845-1896). Crisp served as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1883 until his death.
