Elbert County was formed in 1790 from part of Wilkes County. Georgia's 13th county and its county seat, Elberton, were named for Samuel Elbert, a Revolutionary War hero and an early governor of Georgia. Elbert County's only other municipality, Bowman, was named for Thomas J. Bowman, a local resident who helped finance the Elberton Airline Railroad.

Elberton is known as the "Granite Capital of the World." Elberton's more than 40 quarries produce more granite for monuments than any other area in the world.
