Welcome to Walton County!

A little history

Walton County was created by the Lottery Act of 1818, and was organized in 1819. Georgia's 46th county was named for George Walton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who also served as governor of Georgia and as a U.S. Senator. (Source: ga.gov)

It's all in a name

Some of the communities in Walton County have very interesting names. Between was named by a postmaster because it was halfway between Monroe and Loganville, and Social Circle was possibly named for the first group of settlers who considered themselves a social circle and often passed around a "jug" of spirits.
