Gordon County Historic Population Profile

Gordon County was created on Feb. 13, 1850 by an act of the General Assembly. The new county was formed from portions of Cass (later renamed Bartow) and Floyd counties.

Gordon County's 1850 boundaries were changed numerous times between 1852 to 1877, during which time the legislature transferred portions of Cass (Bartow), Floyd, Murray, Pickens, and Walker counties to Gordon County, while transferring land from Gordon to Floyd and Murray counties.
