Rabun County was created on Dec. 21, 1819 by an act of the
General Assembly from lands ceded by the Cherokees on Feb. 27,
1819 in the Treaty of Washington. [Note: In the official compiliation
of 1819 session laws , the act's approval date is listed as Dec.
16, 1819 (Ga. Laws 1819, p. 23). However, the enrolled copy of
the act in the Georgia State Archives indicates that the act
was approved on Dec. 21.]
In 1828, the legislature transferred a portion of Habersham
County to Rabun County. In 1838, the legislature redefined the
Rabun-Habersham county line. In 1856, the legislature used portions
of Rabun and Union counties to create Towns County.
