Our goal at Genealogy Trails
is to help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing genealogical and historical data and
placing it online for the free use of all researchers.

our original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity
to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and your data contributions.

Crisp County was organized by act of the legislature on August 17, 1905, and laid
off from the county of Dooly. It was named in honor of Hon. Charles F. Crisp and is bounded on the north by Dooly,
on the east by Wilcox, on the south by Worth and Turner, and on the west by Lee and Sumter. The Flint river flows
along its western boundary. The Allapaha river and Cypress Creek water the eastern section. The county is traversed
by the Georgia Southern & Florida, the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic & Birmingham, and the Albany Southern
railways, all of which center at Cordele, the county seat, and give connection to all sections of the state.
The soil is sandy loam and produces cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sugar-cane, Irish and sweet potatoes, field peas,
ground peas, crab and crowfoot grass, the usual varieties of vegetables, melons, berries, figs, peaches, plums
and cherries. The forest timbers are some hardwoods, large quantities of yellow pine and cypress, and the lumber
mills and turpentine distilleries do a large business. The only mineral product is marl.
Crisp county is in the Third Congressional district and southern judicial circuit.
