Carroll County was formed in
1826 from land ceded by the Creek Indians. Original Carroll County
included the former Creek Indian Land lying North and West of the
Chattahoochee River and was bounded on the North by Cherokee Land
and stretched South to West Point. It was about 40 miles wide and
100 miles long. Population in 1850 was 8,256 with 1,101 slaves. The
County takes it's name from Charles Carroll, one of the Signers of
the Declaration of Independence. The County Seat is Carrollton.
