- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about wiregrass Georgia. The wiregrass region of Georgia, located today in the state's southernmost section, once stretched from Savannah to the Chattahoochee River and covered all or portions of twenty-three counties, according to the 1880 U.S. census report on cotton production. The boundaries of the region have shifted over time in response to deforestation and commercial agriculture.
