Carroll County, located in the great state of Georgia, was founded on December 11, 1826. It was named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the signatories of the United States Declaration of Independence and the last surviving founding father. The county is situated in the northwestern part of the state, bordering Alabama, and is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Settlement in Carroll County began in the early 19th century with European-American settlers of mostly English and Scottish descent arriving in the region. The earliest communities emerged as trading and religious centers, with Van Wert being the first county seat. In 1836, the county was involved in the Cherokee Land Lottery following the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which forcibly moved the Cherokee people from their land to make way for new settlers. However, the county seat was moved to Carrollton soon after its founding in 1829.
Over the years, Carroll County has primarily been an agricultural region, with cotton, corn, and wheat being the primary crops. Textile and manufacturing industries have also been part of the economy, particularly during the early 20th century. Today, Carroll County is home to the University of West Georgia and West Georgia Technical College, making it a center for higher education and economic development in the area.
