Named after Reverend George Whitefield, a prominent Methodist minister, the county was created from a portion of Murray County. Situated in the northwestern part of the state, Whitfield County is bordered by Tennessee and forms part of the Dalton Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Whitfield County played a significant role in the Civil War, with several skirmishes and battles occurring in the region, including the Battle of Rocky Face Ridge in 1864. After the war, the county experienced substantial growth due to the establishment of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which facilitated trade and transportation.

Dalton, the county seat, is known as the "Carpet Capital of the World." This title originated in the 20th century when the city became the center of the American tufted textile industry, producing a significant portion of the nation's carpets and rugs.
