United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018House, Myron Wade2004-03-09Encyclopedia article about Carroll County, Georgia. Carroll County was established by an act of the state legislature on June 9, 1825. It was named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence. At the time of its creation, Carroll County was the thirty-first of Georgia's thirty-two original counties. The original Carroll County was a very large triangular area extending from Alabama on the west to the Chattahoochee River on the east and south. The northern boundary of the county was the Cherokee Nation. Eventually parts of five other counties--Campbell (now defunct), Douglas, Haralson, Heard, and Troup--were taken from the original Carroll County.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Carroll County (Ga.)Counties--GeorgiaCarroll CountyText
