'''Harris County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] located in the west-central portion of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]; its western border with the state of [[Alabama]] is formed by the [[Chattahoochee River]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 34,668.<ref>{{cite web|title=Census - Geography Profile: Harris County, Georgia|url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Harris_County,_Georgia?g=0500000US13145|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=December 27, 2022}}</ref> The [[county seat]] is [[Hamilton, Georgia|Hamilton]].<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}}</ref> The largest city in the county is [[Pine Mountain, Harris County, Georgia|Pine Mountain]], a resort town that is home to the [[F.D.

Because of this, Harris has become the sixth-wealthiest county in [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] in terms of [[Georgia (U.S. state) locations by per capita income|per capita income]] and the third-wealthiest in the state outside of [[Atlanta metropolitan area|Metro Atlanta]].

==History==

The county was settled by European Americans largely after the federal government had [[Indian Removal|removed]] the indigenous [[Creek people]] (Muscogee) in the 1830s, under treaties by which they ceded most of their homelands to the United States. They were relocated to [[Indian Territory]] west of the [[Mississippi River]].

In the antebellum era, parts of the county were developed for cotton plantations, the premier commodity crop. Planters acquired numerous enslaved African Americans as laborers from the Upper South through the domestic [[History of slavery|slave trade]].

The [[Harris County Courthouse (Georgia)|County Courthouse]] was designed by [[Edward Columbus Hosford]] of Georgia and completed in 1906.

[[Moonshine]]rs were active in the mountain areas of the county in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both whites and blacks took part in this, and were common drinking patrons.<ref name="branan"/>

===Lynchings===
On January 22, 1912, a black woman and three black men were [[Lynching in the United States|lynched]] in [[Hamilton, Georgia|Hamilton]], the county seat, for the alleged murder of young local white landowner Norman Hadley. He was described by journalist Karen Branan in her 2016 book about these events as a white, "near penniless plowboy-playboy"<ref name="ajc">[http://www.myajc.com/news/entertainment/books-literature/family-tree-unpacks-mystery-of-a-1912-georgia-lync/npzxC/ Jeff Calder, " 'Family Tree’ unpacks mystery of a 1912 Georgia lynching"], ''Books & Literature'', ''Atlanta Journal-Constitution'', January 9, 2016, accessed April 6, 2016.</ref> and "notorious predator of black women."<ref>[http://comingtothetable.org/stories/stories-facing-history/roots-family-tree/ Karen Branan, "Getting to the Roots of My Family Tree"], Coming to the Table, 2014, accessed April 6, 2016.</ref>

Of this group, Dusky Crutchfield was the first woman lynched in Georgia.<ref name="ajc"/> The lynching case attracted attention of national northern newspapers.<ref>[http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1912/01/23/page/1/article/woman-and-3-men-lynched-by-mob "Woman and 3 Men Lynched by Mob"], ''Chicago Daily Tribune'', January 23, 1912, accessed April 6, 2016.</ref><ref>[http://www.rarenewspapers.com/view/580911 (Associated Press), "Three Colored Men and Woman Lynched"], ''VALLEY SENTINEL'' ([[Carlisle, Pennsylvania]]), January 26, 1912, accessed April 6, 2016.</ref> Also murdered by the lynch mob were Eugene Harrington, Burrell Hardaway,<ref name="lynchings">[https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/galynchings/lynchings/ "Burrell Hardaway"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417024900/https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/galynchings/lynchings/ |date=April 17, 2016 }}, Georgia Lynching Project Circa 1875-1930, Project of Emory University, 2016, accessed April 6, 2016.</ref> and Johnie Moore. (Note: There was confusion about the names of victims at the time, and variations in spelling have been published.)<ref name="branan"/>

The four had been taken in for questioning about Hadley's murder by Sheriff Marion Madison "Buddie" Hadley, but never arrested. Lynched as scapegoats by a white mob of 100 men, they were later shown to have been utterly innocent. As an example of the complex relationships in the town and county, Johnie Moore was a [[mixed-race]] cousin of the sheriff; and Norman Hadley was the sheriff's nephew.<ref name="ajc"/><ref name="branan">Karen Branan, ''The Family Tree: A Lynching in Georgia, a Legacy of Secrets, and My Search for the Truth'', Atria Books, 2016.</ref><ref name="lynchings"/>

In 1947, prosperous farmer Henry "Peg" Gilbert, a married African-American man who owned and farmed 100 acres in [[Troup County, Georgia|Troup County]], was arrested by officials from neighboring Harris County and charged with harboring a fugitive. The 47-year-old father was accused in the case of Gus Davidson, an African-American man accused of fatally shooting a white man in Harris County and who had disappeared. Four days later Gilbert was dead, shot while held in jail by the Harris County Sheriff, who said it was self-defense. No charges were filed against him.

In 2016 the [[Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project]] of [[Northeastern University]] reported on Gilbert's [[death in custody]]. They had found that Henry Gilbert had been beaten severely before his death, and shot five times. They asserted he had been detained and killed because whites resented his success as a farmer.<ref name="CRRJ_Georgia_1947">{{citation |title=CRRJ Provides First Full Account of Notorious 1947 Georgia Jailhouse Killing |url=http://www.northeastern.edu/law/news/announcements/2016/crrj-gilbert-8.22.html |publisher=Civil Rights Restorative Justice Project |date=August 22, 2016 |access-date=August 25, 2016}}</ref><ref name="CRRJ_report_2016_Gilbert">{{cite report |url=http://nuweb9.neu.edu/civilrights/georgia/henry-gilbert/#_ga=1.96031967.2139854245.1472158027 |title=Henry Gilbert |first1=Tara |last1=Dunn |first2=Ariel Goeun Lee |last2=Kong |publisher=Civil Rights Restorative Justice Project |date=2016 |access-date=August 25, 2016 |work=Northeastern University School of Law |location=Boston, MA |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160826013429/http://nuweb9.neu.edu/civilrights/georgia/henry-gilbert/#_ga=1.96031967.2139854245.1472158027 |archive-date=August 26, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Economic issues and competition were often at the bottom of lynchings. A white man took over Gilbert's land, cheating his family out of everything he had built.

==Geography==
[[File:Harris county view 2.JPG|thumb|right|250px|View of Harris County on Pine Mountain]]

According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|473|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|464|sqmi}} are land and {{convert|9.1|sqmi}} (1.9%) are covered by 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 county is located in the [[Piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] region of the state, with forests, farmland, and rolling hills covering much of the county. The [[Pine Mountain Range]] begins in the county, and runs across the northernmost parts of the county, with the highest point on the range found at [[Dowdell's Knob]] near the Meriwether County line.

The majority of Harris County is located in the middle [[Chattahoochee River]]–[[Lake Harding]] subbasin of the [[ACF River Basin]] (Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint River Basin), with the exception of the county's southeastern border area, south of [[Ellerslie, Georgia|Ellerslie]], which is located in the middle Chattahoochee River–[[Walter F. George Lake]] subbasin of the same ACF River Basin as that part of the county is drained by Bull Creek, which flows into Upatoi Creek south of Columbus.<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 20, 2015 |archive-date=October 3, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003004639/http://www.gaswcc.org/maps/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Lake Harding]] and [[Goat Rock Lake]] both form much of the county's western border along the Chattahoochee, and both are very popular recreational destinations, especially for metro Columbus residents.

==Politics==
Like all of Georgia except the [[Southern Unionist|Unionist]] [[Fannin County, Georgia|Fannin]], [[Towns County, Georgia|Towns]], [[Pickens County, Georgia|Pickens]] and [[Gilmer County, Georgia|Gilmer]] counties, which were in the upland region and could not support plantations, Harris County was historically dominated by a majority of conservative white voters after the Civil War. They belonged to the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]. From the end of Reconstruction to 1980, they supported [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] presidential candidates only twice, in 1964 (when [[Barry Goldwater]] carried the state in a landslide) and 1972 (during [[Richard Nixon]]'s national landslide).

But the passage of civil rights legislation by the national Democratic Party and social and cultural disruption of the era resulted in white conservatives beginning to support the Republican Party. In 1984, the state swung from having given a 16.8 percent victory to the 'favorite son' of Georgia, [[Jimmy Carter]], in 1976, to a nearly 20-point victory for [[Ronald Reagan]] in his second term. In this, it was part of the realignment of white conservatives across the South. Since then, these voters in Harris County have voted for Republican presidential candidates. 1984 is the last time that a Democrat gained more than 40 percent of the vote. This trend has been attributed to the effect of Columbus's suburbs extending into the county, but it is part of the broader realignment among conservatives in the region.
