Courthouse Details: When created in 1801, Tattnall County had no towns, so the legislature provided that county business be conducted at the home of Zacharia Cox, whose home was located on the western boundary of the new county. In 1828, the General Assembly appointed a committee to select a central site in the county for location of a courthouse. In 1832, a U.S. post office opened in the small Tattnall community of Reidsville, and that year the legislature designated the community as county seat. The third building used as a courthouse was built in 1857. The current courthouse was built in 1902. It was remodeled in 1915 and again in the 1960s, at which time the tower and mansard roof were removed. The courthouse was renovated again in 1991. - External Identifiers:
