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.
