Counties in Georgia were originally created to facilitate local governance and administration, making it easier to provide services and maintain order in the rapidly growing population following its establishment in 1732. The county system allowed for more efficient management of land, resources, and law enforcement, as well as representation in the state legislature. Additionally, counties helped to organize the distribution of public education and infrastructure in the region. Overall, this structure aimed to promote development and ensure that governmental functions were effectively carried out in the new state.
There are one hundred and fifty nine counties in the state of Georgia.
