It is unclear whether Wilcox County is named for General Mark Wilcox, a Georgia state legislator and one of the
founders of the Georgia Supreme Court, or if it is named for his son John Wilcox. The formation of the county was
led by Norman McDuffie of Pulaski County, Georgia. It was formed on December 22, 1857 from parts of Irwin, Pulaski,
and Dooly counties.
Jefferson Davis, President of The Confederate States of America spent his last night in Wilcox County, before being
