'''Jackson County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] located in the northeastern part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 75,907.<ref>{{cite web|title=Census - Geography Profile: Jackson County, Georgia|url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Jackson_County,_Georgia?g=0500000US13157|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=December 27, 2022}}</ref> The [[county seat]] is [[Jefferson, Georgia|Jefferson]].<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> Jackson County comprises the Jefferson, GA [[Micropolitan Statistical Area]], which is included in the [[Atlanta]]-[[Athens, Georgia|Athens-Clarke County]]-[[Sandy Springs, Georgia|Sandy Springs]], GA [[Atlanta metropolitan area|Combined Statistical Area]].

==History==
Most of the first non-Native American settlers came from [[Effingham County, Georgia|Effingham County]] in 1786.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Nash|first1=Gustavus James Nash|title=The Early History of Jackson County, Georgia|date=1914|publisher=W. E. White|location=Atlanta|page=51|url=http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/georgiabooks/do-pdf:gb0392|access-date=May 21, 2016}}</ref> On February 11, 1796, Jackson County was split off from part of [[Franklin County, Georgia|Franklin County]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. The new county was named in honor of Revolutionary War Lieutenant Colonel, Congressman, Senator and Governor [[James Jackson (Georgia politician)|James Jackson]].<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ | title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States | publisher=Govt. Print. Off. | author=Gannett, Henry | year=1905 | page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ/page/n166 167]}}</ref> The county originally covered an area of approximately {{convert|1800|sqmi|1}}, with [[Clarksboro, Georgia|Clarksboro]] as its first county seat.

In 1801, the [[Georgia General Assembly]] granted {{convert|40,000|acre|km2}} of land in Jackson County for a state college. Franklin College (now [[University of Georgia]]) began classes the same year, and the city of [[Athens, Georgia|Athens]] was developed around the school. Also the same year, a new county was developed around the new college town, and Jackson lost territory to the new [[Clarke County, Georgia|Clarke]]. The county seat was moved to an old Indian village called Thomocoggan, a location with ample water supply from Curry Creek and four large springs. In 1804, the city was renamed [[Jefferson, Georgia|Jefferson]], after [[Thomas Jefferson]].

Jackson lost more territory in 1811 in the creation of [[Madison County, Georgia|Madison County]], in 1818 in the creation of [[Walton County, Georgia|Walton]], [[Gwinnett County, Georgia|Gwinnett]], and [[Hall County, Georgia|Hall]] counties, in 1858 in the creation of [[Banks County, Georgia|Banks County]],<ref>{{cite web|last1=Green|first1=James A.|title=Map of the County of Jackson by James A.

The first county courthouse, a log and wooden frame building with an attached jail, was built on south side of the public square; a second, larger, two-story brick courthouse with a separate jailhouse was built in 1817. In 1880, a third was built on a hill north of the square. This courthouse was the oldest continuously operating courthouse in the United States until 2004, when the current courthouse was constructed north of Jefferson.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|343|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|340|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|3.4|sqmi}} (1.0%) 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 vast majority of Jackson County is located in the Upper [[Oconee River]] sub-basin of the [[Altamaha River]] basin, with just a small portion of the county's northern edge, between [[Maysville, Georgia|Maysville]] to just east of [[Commerce, Georgia|Commerce]], located in the [[Broad River (Georgia)|Broad River]] sub-basin of the [[Savannah 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 3, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003004639/http://www.gaswcc.org/maps/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
