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 ONLINE DATA Only the links in color are active.
