Telfair County was created from Wilkinson County on Dec. 10,
1807 by the General Assembly.
In 1812, the legislature transferred the portion of Telfair
County between the Oconee and Little Ocmulgee rivers to Montgomery
County. In 1819 and 1825, the legislature transferred respectively
land lots 1 and 6 in Appling County to Telfair County. These
transfers (see
map) gave Telfair a substantial area of land south of the
Ocmulgee River. However, in 1854, the legislature transferred
this area to newly created Coffee County.
The last loss of land came in 1870, when areas of northern
Telfair County were used to form Dodge County. However in 1872
and 1875, areas of Dodge County were transferred back to Telfair
County. The last boundary adjustment came in 1877, when the lands
of Bradley Harralson (land lots 265, 266, 272, and 273 in the
10th district) in Montgomery County were shifted to Telfair County.
