| Miller County was created from Baker and Early counties on Feb. 26, 1856, by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1855- 56, p. 114). Georgia's 117th county was named for Georgia lawyer, politician, and Medical College of Georgia president Andrew Miller (1806-1856). The act creating Miller County authorized the justices of the county's inferior court to select a "central and convenient place" for the county seat, lay off the site into town lots, and provide for construction of a courthouse and other public buildings. In 1856, the inferior court designated the town of Colquitt as county seat of Miller County. On Dec. 19, 1860, the General Assembly incorporated Colquitt as a town. (Ga. Laws 1860, p. 86). Colquitt was named for U.S. Sen. Walter T. Colquitt(1799-1855). | |
