Welcome to the Genealogy Trails
website for Muscogee County, Georgia.
This County is available for
adoption.
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.
This is a continuation of 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.
If you think you might be interested in
joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and
instructions on signing up. We're looking for folks who share our
dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this
project be as successful as it can be.
If you have data that
you would like to have posted on this website, please
contact
us.
Any data we come across will be added to
this site.
We regret that we are unable to perform any personal
research for you.
If you

Its county seat and only
city is Columbus, Georgia, with which it has been a consolidated
city-county since the beginning of 1971. The only other city was Bibb
City, which disincorporated in December 2000. Fort Benning takes up the
remainder of the county. The Chattahoochee River forms its western
border with Alabama.
The
land for Lee, Muscogee, Troup, Coweta, and Carroll counties was ceded by
the Creek people in the 1825 Treaty of Indian Springs. The counties'
boundaries were created by the Georgia General Assembly on June 9, but
they were not named until December 14 of 1826.
It was named for the native Muscogee
or Creek people. Parts of the then-large county (which went all the way
east to the Flint River) were later taken to create every other
neighboring Georgia county, including Harris County to the north in
1827
