Talbot County Courthouse-Talbotton, Georgia - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

Likely, Talbot County business and court sessions initially were conducted at private houses. Reportedly, a brick courthouse was built in Talbotton in 1831. Evidence of this building is found in James Silk Buckingham's 1839 diary, where he records seeing "a good brick court-house" in Talbotton. The building burned in early 1892, and the present courthouse was completed later that year.

County History: Talbot County was created from Muscogee County on Dec. 14, 1827 by an act of the General Assembly (click here for legal description of its original boundaries). In 1852, part of Talbot County was used to form Taylor County.

Georgia's 73rd county was named for former governor Matthew Talbot (1762-1827).
