Welcome to the Muscogee County GAGen
Web Project
My name is Trish Elliott-Kashima and I am
County Coordinator for this site. This is a free
site. All information on this site was
submitted by volunteers. I appreciate all the
work that Kemis Massey did for this site in
the past. In order for the site to be truly
helpful to all, it needs to contain a wide
variety of information including the history
of the county, vital statistics and family
histories. So, PLEASE share your
family and county history with others. Help me
make it the best site we can. Please note I am
revamping this site and you may find broken
links until I have updated everything.
If you have books on Muscogee County and
are willing to help others find their
Muscogee Roots, please let me know. I will
set up a separate page to show that.
Come back and visit as I will be adding
things to the site. Suggestions are WELCOME!!
If you have something you would like to see
on this site, please let me know.

MUSCOGEE
COUNTY, GEORGIA HISTORY
Originally
Muscogee County was created December
11, 1826, originally covering 2,000
square miles of Indian territory
between the Chattahoochee and Flint
Rivers. It was named for the native
Muscogee or Creek people. The land
was ceeded by eight of the chiefs
among the Creek in the Treaty of
Indian Springs. The Creek Nation
declared it illegal because it did
not represent the majority of the
people. The following year the US
Government negoiated another treaty.
The boundaries of Muscogee County
was created by the Georgia General
Assembly. Parts of Muscogee Co were
later taken for the creation of
other counties, so please check
those additional counties for
information on your families.
Columbus was and is the County seat.
