County Population

Appling County was created on Dec. 15, 1818 by an act of the General Assembly. The new county was formed from Creek lands ceded in the Treaty of Fort Jackson (1814) and the Treaty of the Creek Agency (1818).

In 1824, the legislature created Ware County from Appling County. Also, portions of Appling County were used to create the following counties: Pierce (1857), Jeff Davis (1905), and Bacon (1914).
