Chattahoochee County, Georgia History
Chattahoochee
County, named for the Chattahoochee River that forms
the county's western border, was created 14 February
1854 from parts of Marion and Muscogee
Counties. Cusseta, the county seat, was incorporated
on December 55, 1855.
The county courthouse, in Cusseta, was constructed
in 1854, and is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. Chattahoochee County is home
to the Fort Benning Military Reservation, which
was founded at the beginning of the first World
War, and was named for General Henry Lewis Benning,
a Confederate general. It is now named Fort Moore after Lt Gen Hal Moore and his wife Julia Compton Moore who are buried on the post. The name change went into effect May 11, 2023.
