'''Carroll County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] in the [[West Central Georgia|West Central]] region of the [[State of Georgia]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], its population was 119,148.<ref name="QF">{{cite web|title=State & County QuickFacts|url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13045.html|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=June 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703082817/http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13045.html|archive-date=July 3, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="ReferenceA">US 2020 Census Bureau report, Carroll County, Georgia</ref> Its [[county seat]] is the city of [[Carrollton, Georgia|Carrollton]].<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |access-date=June 7, 2011 |title=Find a County |publisher=National Association of Counties |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531210815/http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |archive-date=May 31, 2011 }}</ref> Carroll County is included in the [[Atlanta metropolitan area|Atlanta'''–'''Sandy Springs'''–'''Roswell metropolitan statistical area]] and is also adjacent to [[Alabama]] on its western border.

== History ==
The lands of [[Lee County, GA|Lee]], [[Muscogee County, GA|Muscogee]], [[Troup County, GA|Troup]], [[Coweta County, GA|Coweta]], and Carroll counties were [[cession|ceded]] by the [[Creek people]] in the [[Treaty of Indian Springs (1825)]]. This was a huge amount of land in Georgia and Alabama, the last remaining portion of the Creeks' territory, and it was ceded by [[William McIntosh]], the chief of the Lower Creek and a member of the National Council. This cession violated the Law, the Code of 1818 that protected communal tribal land. The Creek National Council ordered the execution of McIntosh and other signatories to the treaty for what it considered treason.

McIntosh was killed at his plantation home, at what has been preserved as the [[McIntosh Reserve]]. [[Menawa]] and a force of 100-150 Law Defenders from Upper Town lands ceded in this treaty carried out the executions of two other men, including Samuel Hawkins, one of McIntosh's sons-in-law. Benjamin Hawkins Jr., another son-in-law, was also named for execution but he escaped, and soon moved to East Texas with his wife and family. Both of the Hawkins brothers were sons of [[Benjamin Hawkins]], the longstanding US Indian Supervisor of the Creek.

The boundaries of Carroll County were created by the [[Georgia General Assembly]] on June 9, 1826, but the county was not named until December 14, 1826. It was named for [[Charles Carroll of Carrollton]], at that time the last surviving signer of the [[U.S. Declaration of Independence]], as was Carrollton, the county seat.<ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/c.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030710215157/http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/c.pdf |archive-date=July 10, 2003 |url-status=live | title=Georgia Place-Names: Their History and Origins | publisher=Winship Press | author=Krakow, Kenneth K. | year=1975 | location=Macon, GA | pages=35 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}}</ref>

When the county was first organized, the legislature designated the county seat as Old Carrollton, Georgia, but in 1830 it was moved to [[Carrollton, Georgia|Carrollton]].<ref>Joe Cobb, ''Caroll County and Her People'', p. 3</ref>

This county originally extended from the [[Chattahoochee River]] to the Alabama state line on the east and on the west, with its northern boundary at the [[Cherokee Nation]], just north of present-day [[Interstate 20]]. As population increased, this land was divided into Carroll, [[Douglas County, GA|Douglas]], and [[Heard County, GA|Heard]] counties, and parts of [[Haralson County, GA|Haralson]] and Troup counties. The portion that became Douglas County was once [[Campbell County, GA|Campbell County]] which no longer exists (it was divided between Douglas and [[Fulton County, GA|Fulton]] counties).

Because the county had few slaves compared to counties developed for cotton plantations, it was called the ''Free State of Carroll'' during the 1850s. Even before the cession of territory by the Cherokee in the late 1830s, some white settlers lived in the northern part of the county in the area of [[Villa Rica, GA|Villa Rica]].

Carroll County was the site of Georgia's first Gold Rush.

For a time Carroll County was the home of [[Horace King (architect)]]. King helped build Moore's Bridge over the [[Chattahoochee River]] at Whitesburg. Moores Bridge was burned by Union soldiers during the Civil War. During the [[American Civil War]], the county provided the Bowdon Volunteers and the Carroll Boys, which were a part of [[Cobb's Legion]].

On August 21, 1995, [[Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 529]] crashed in a field near [[Carrollton, Georgia]]. Nine of the 29 passengers and crew were killed in the crash.

In February 2008 several tornadoes hit Carroll County, destroying several homes and damaging many more. On [[Tornado outbreak sequence of May 7–11, 2008|May 11, 2008]] (Mother's Day) some of the same areas were hit by more tornadoes. The Mother's Day tornadoes destroyed and damaged many homes and businesses.

On [[2009 Southeastern United States floods|September 21, 2009]], portions of Carroll County were flooded after eight days of heavy rainfall, resulting in multiple deaths. The flooding initially closed more than 60 [[highway]]s and roads, and it destroyed a number of bridges. Early estimates of the damage totaled $22 million.

==Geography==
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|504|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|499|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|4.8|sqmi}} (0.9%) is water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>

The western two-thirds of Carroll County, in a line from [[Roopville, Georgia|Roopville]] northeast to [[Villa Rica, Georgia|Villa Rica]], is located in the Upper [[Tallapoosa River]] sub-basin of the [[ACT River Basin]] (Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin), while the eastern third, east of that same line, is located in the Middle [[Chattahoochee River]]-[[Lake Harding]] sub-basin of the [[ACF River Basin]] (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gaswcc.org/maps/ |title=Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission Interactive Mapping Experience |publisher=Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission |access-date=November 18, 2015 |archive-date=October 22, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022025219/http://www.gaswcc.org/maps/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
