| Habersham County was created on
Dec. 18, 1818, by an act of the General Assembly from lands ceded
by the Cherokee Indians on July 8, 1817 in the Treaty of the
Cherokee Agency. Additional Cherokee lands were ceded to Georgia
on Feb. 27, 1819 in the Treaty of Washington, and in an act of
Dec. 21, 1819, the legislature added some of ceded land to the
western portions of Habersham and Hall counties. Remaining unallocated
Cherokee lands ceded in 1817 and 1819 were added to Habersham
and other Georgia counties in 1828 and 1829. Later, portions
of Habersham County were used to create the following counties:
Cherokee (1831), Lumpkin (1832), White (1857), Banks (1858),
and Stephens (1905). |
