A Brief History of Dooly County

Dooly County is one of Georgia's original land-lottery counties, created in 1821 from territory ceded by the Creek Nation.

The county was named for John Dooly, a Revolutionary War militia commander who was killed in his own home by Loyalist raiders in 1780. Vienna, chosen as county seat, took its name from the Austrian capital upon its formal incorporation in 1854.

Cotton dominated Dooly County's economy for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Peanuts emerged as a second major crop in the twentieth century.

Dooly County's Economy Today

Dooly County remains one of Georgia's leading agricultural counties, regularly ranked among the state's top producers of both cotton and peanuts.

Poultry processing has become an increasingly important part of the local economy, with expanding operations around Unadilla adding manufacturing jobs.

Vienna, the county seat, serves as the commercial and administrative center, home to a business incubator aimed at supporting new small businesses and workforce training.
