Chattahoochee County, located in the great state of Georgia, was established on February 13, 1854. It was created from portions of Muscogee and Marion counties and named after the Chattahoochee River, which forms its western boundary. The word "Chattahoochee" is believed to come from a Creek Indian word meaning "painted rock," referring to the colorful granite outcroppings along the river.
Historically, the area was home to the Creek Indians, who had a confederacy of tribes residing in the southeastern United States. The Creek people were forced to relocate during the Indian Removal Act of 1830, making way for European-American settlers to move in and establish farmland.
Cusseta, named after a significant Creek Indian town, served as the county seat since its founding. It is located in the southwestern part of the county and is currently the only incorporated municipality within the county. The arrival of the railroad in the late 19th century spurred development, but the area remained mostly agricultural.
A significant transformation took place in Chattahoochee County during World War II when the U.S. Army established Fort Benning, an infantry training center, to its immediate north. Over time, the military base expanded into the county, bringing a considerable population growth and an economic boost to the region.
Fun Fact: Chattahoochee County is often called "Georgia's youngest county" not because it was established most recently, but due to the disproportionately large number of young people residing there. This predominantly young population is a result of the Fort Benning military base, which is home to many young soldiers and their families.
