A Brief History of Coffee County

Coffee County was formed in February 1854 from parts of Clinch, Irwin, Telfair, and Ware counties. The county honors General John E. Coffee, a Telfair County planter and frontiersman who served in the state legislature and U.S. Congress.

Douglas, established the same year the county was formed, took its name from Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas and became the county seat in 1858, growing steadily as a market town for the surrounding farmland.

Timber, turpentine, and tobacco shaped the county's economy for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, setting the stage for the peanut and poultry production that would come to define its farm economy later.

Coffee County's Economy Today

Agriculture remains a foundation of Coffee County's economy, with peanuts having overtaken tobacco as the leading crop in recent years alongside cotton and poultry production.

Manufacturing has grown alongside agriculture, including large-scale peanut processing operations and plants producing specialty chemicals and components for the aerospace industry.

Healthcare is another key employment sector, centered on a regional medical center in Douglas that serves patients from across the surrounding rural area.
