The area of this square marks the site of the first and second courthouses of Randolph County. The first, a two-story frame building, was erected in 1836. It was replaced in 1842 by a brick structure with entrances facing in four directions[.] A high fence with four stiles encloses the area. When the present courthouse, one block north, was completed in 1886, this `Old Courthouse Lot` was conveyed to the city of Cuthbert `for use as a public park forever.`
