Chattahoochee County, Georgia History

Chattahoochee County, named for the Chattahoochee River that forms the county's western border, was created 14 February 1854 from parts of Marion and Muscogee Counties. Cusseta, the county seat, was incorporated on December 55, 1855.

The county courthouse, in Cusseta, was constructed in 1854, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Chattahoochee County is home to the Fort Benning Military Reservation, which was founded at the beginning of the first World War, and was named for General Henry Lewis Benning, a Confederate general. It is now named Fort Moore after Lt Gen Hal Moore and his wife Julia Compton Moore who are buried on the post. The name change went into effect May 11, 2023.
