Chattahoochee County was created on Feb. 13, 1854 by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1853-54, p. 288). Created from Muscogee and Marion counties, Chattahoochee County's original boundaries were specified as:

. . . to commence in the centre of the mouth of Upatoi Creek at the Chattahoochee River, thence up the centre of said Upatoi Creek to the old original line of Talbot County, thence South embracing two ranges of lots of land in Marion County, thence along the line dividing Muscogee and Stewart Counties to the Chattahoochee River, thence up the Chattahoochee River to the point of beginning.

Georgia's 109th county was named for the Chattahoochee River, which forms its western boundary.

In 2003, Chattahoocee County consolidated with the city of Cusseta to become a single government known as Cusseta-Chattahoochee County.
