Seat Information: The colonial town of Hardwick, laid out in 1755, served as the initial county seat. In 1797, the General Assembly designated that court be held at a settlement at a settlement two miles from the Ogeechee River known as Cross Roads. In 1854, a wooden courthouse was built here -- a site frequently identified simply as Bryan Courthouse. Later, Eden became county seat, and in 1901 the county seat was moved to Clyde, where a two-story wooden courthouse was built. Clyde remained county seat until the U.S. Army initiated plans for an anti-artillery training center. Because Cross Roads lay in the area needed by the Army for what would become Camp [and later Fort] Stewart, the Georgia General Assembly designated the town of Pembroke as Bryan's new county seat in 1937. Pembroke, a railroad settlement, incorporated by the legislature on Aug. 23, 1905, was named for Pembroke Williams.
Courthouse Details: An annex of similar architectural style was built at the rear of the courthouse in 1969. - External Identifiers:
