Your fight is our fight.
A Brief History of Macon County
Macon County was formed in 1837 from portions of Houston and Marion counties, named in memory of Nathaniel Macon, a North Carolina statesman who had recently died after decades of service in the U.S. Congress.
The town of Lanier was designated as the original county seat, but when the Central of Georgia Railroad was built through the county in the early 1850s, its route bypassed Lanier in favor of a community several miles to the south.
Following referendums held in 1854 and 1856, voters approved moving the county seat to that railroad town, formally designated Oglethorpe in 1857.
Macon County's Economy Today
Agriculture remains the foundation of Macon County's economy, and the county has long stood out as one of Georgia's leading producers of milk and peaches, alongside substantial peanut, cotton, and pecan production.
Poultry operations have grown into a major part of the local economy, and forest products processing, including a large pulp mill near Oglethorpe, provides several hundred jobs.
Oglethorpe and Montezuma serve as the county's principal commercial centers, hosting smaller-scale retail and service businesses that support the surrounding rural population.
