The
county seat is Monticello, Georgia
The County was created on December 10, 1807, by an act of the Georgia
General Assembly with land that was originally part of Baldwin County,
GA
Jasper County was originally named Randolph County (after Virginian
John Randolph). Because of Randolph's opposition to U.S. entry into the
War of 1812, the General Assembly changed the name of Randolph County
to Jasper County on December 10, 1812 to honor Sergeant William Jasper,
an American Revolutionary War hero. However, Randolph's reputation
eventually was restored, and in 1828, the General Assembly created a
new Randolph County.
Newton County was created from a part of the original Jasper County in
1821.
