Jones County, located in the heart of Georgia, was established on December 10, 1807. Named after James Jones, a prominent Georgia statesman, and U.S. Congressman, the county is part of the Macon Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county seat, Gray, was instituted in 1854 and named after prominent attorney James Madison Gray.
In its early years, the region thrived economically due to cotton production, benefitting from its fertile soil and moderate climate. During the Civil War, Jones County supported Georgia's secession from the Union but opposed the idea of a Confederacy. The county citizens were primarily concerned with economic issues rather than slavery, leading to tensions as most of the residents were non-slave-owning yeoman farmers.
Fun fact: It is said that the county contained a community known as "Clinton", which was once the fourth largest city in Georgia during the 1820s and served as the state capital for a single day when the Georgia Legislature assembled there on August 24, 1825. The community later got bypassed by the railroads, leading to its decline, and was eventually incorporated into Gray when it became the county seat.
