Thomas County was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 23, 1825 from portions of Decatur
and Irwin counties. Colquitt (1856), Brooks (1858), and Grady (1905) Counties all were formed partially from lands
within Thomas County's original borders.

The County is named for General Jett Thomas, officer in the War of 1812 who is also known for overseeing the construction
of the first building at the University of Georgia (originally referred to as Franklin College and known today
as Old College) as well as the state capitol at Milledgeville
