October 26, 1870. William Dodge had a consortium of
businessmen who purchased large amounts of timberland after the
Civil War. The Dodge Land Company had over 300,000 acres
but some was acquired in disreputable ways. Several court
cases came about because of the questionable deeds and there
were "land wars". Dodge County contains about 496 square miles
and was formed from Laurens, Pulaski, Montgomery and Telfair
Counties and is in the center of Wiregrass Region of Georgia.
It stretches from the Oconee River to the Ocmulgee River.
