Banks County:
Banks County was created by an act of the General Assembly signed by Gov. Joseph E. Brown on Dec 11, 1858. According to that legislation, the county was to be laid out from portions of Franklin and Habersham counties on Feb. 1, 1859, with county officers elected the next month. Georgia’s 129th county was named for Dr. Richard Banks, a noted Gainesville physician and surgeon who died three years earlier.
The early economy in Banks County was based on cotton and corn, but this gave way to beef and poultry production in the 1920’s and textile manufacturing and poultry feeds by the 1960’s. The county seal displays the date it was founded along with the historic courthouse. Work began on the courthouse in 1860, but the outbreak of the Civil War delayed completion of the building until 1863. The courthouse stills stands with the giant oaks out front memorialized by the “From the Acorn to the Oak” also depicted at the bottom of the seal.
Ty Cobb was born in Banks County on December 18, 1886 at 1350 Hwy. 105 (Ty Cobb Parkway), Ty Cobb spent 24 years playing professional baseball and was the first player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Jackson County
On February 11, 1796, Jackson County was split off from part of Franklin County, Georgia. The new county was named in honor of Revolutionary War Lieutenant Colonel, Congressman, Senator and Governor James Jackson. The county originally covered an area of approximately 1,800 square miles, with Clarkesboro as its first county seat.
In 1801, the Georgia General Assembly granted 40,000 acres of land in Jackson County for a state college. Franklin College (now University of Georgia) began classes the same year, and the city of Athens was developed around the school. Also the same year, a new county was developed around the new college town, and Jackson lost territory to the new Clarke. The county seat was moved to an old Indian village called Thomocoggan, a location with ample water supply from Curry Creek and four large springs. In 1804, the city was renamed Jefferson, after Thomas Jefferson.
Jackson lost more territory in 1811 in the creation of Madison County, in 1818 in the creation of Walton, Gwinnett, and Hall counties, in 1858 in the creation of Banks County, and in 1914 in the creation of Barrow County County.
In 1880, the courthouse built on the hill north of the square was the oldest continuously operating courthouse in the United States until 2004, when the current courthouse was constructed north of Jefferson.
