Created
May 15, 1821
The county seat is McDonough, Georgia
Henry County, Georgia was created by the Georgia State Legislature in
1821 from land acquired from the Creek Indian Nation by the First
Treaty of Indian Springs. Henry's original land area was much larger
than it is today, stretching from near Indian Springs in the south to
the Chattahoochee River near Sandy Springs in the north; encompassing
most of present day Metropolitan Atlanta. Before one year passed the
size of the County was diminished through the separation of land areas
which, in whole or in part, became present day DeKalb, Fulton, Fayette
and Newton Counties. Later divisions resulted in Clayton, Spalding,
Rockdale and Butts Counties.
