Georgia Counties: All 159 Counties and County Seats

Browse Georgia

Georgia has 159 counties, second only to Texas, which has 254. This list shows every Georgia county with its county seat (the town where the courthouse sits) and the year the county was created, from the original counties of 1777 to Peach County, the newest, created in 1924. The smallest county by area is Clarke County at about 121 square miles, and the largest is Ware County at about 903 square miles. The last column links to a detailed map of each county and, where we have one, a guide to its parks.
