'''Muscogee County''' is a [[County (United States)|county]] located on the central western border of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] named after the [[Muscogee]] that originally inhabited the land with its western border with the state of [[Alabama]] that is formed by the [[Chattahoochee River]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the [[population]] was 206,922.<ref>{{cite web|title=Census - Geography Profile: Muscogee County, Georgia|url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Muscogee_County,_Georgia?g=0500000US13215|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=December 27, 2022}}</ref> Its [[county seat]] and only city is [[Columbus, Georgia|Columbus]],<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> with which it has been a [[consolidated city-county]] since the beginning of 1971.

Muscogee County is part of the [[Columbus metropolitan area, Georgia|Columbus, GA–AL, metropolitan statistical area]].

The only other city in the county was [[Bibb City]], a company town that disincorporated in December 2000, two years after its mill closed permanently. [[Fort Benning]], a large Army installation, takes up nearly one quarter of the county and extends southeast into neighboring [[Chattahoochee County, Georgia|Chattahoochee County]]; it generates considerable economic power in the region.

==History==
{{One source|section|date=August 2022}}
Inhabited for thousands of years by varying cultures of [[indigenous peoples]], this area was territory of the historic [[Creek people]] at the time of European encounter.

The land for [[Lee County, Georgia|Lee]], Muscogee, [[Troup County, Georgia|Troup]], [[Coweta County, Georgia|Coweta]], and [[Carroll County, Georgia|Carroll]] counties was [[cession|ceded]] by a certain eight chiefs among the [[Creek people]] in the 1825 [[Treaty of Indian Springs (1825)|Treaty of Indian Springs]]. The Creek Nation declared the land cession illegal, because it did not represent the will of the majority of the people. The United States Senate did not ratify it. The following year, the US government negotiated another treaty with the Creek, by which they ceded nearly as much territory under continued pressure from the state of Georgia and US land commissioners.

The counties' boundaries were created by the [[Georgia General Assembly]] on June 9, but they were not named until December 14, 1826. The county was originally developed by American Indians for cotton plantations. In many areas of what became known as the [[Black Belt (geological formation)|Black Belt]] for the fertility of soil and development of plantations, American Indians who were reclassified by the government as Colored/Negro made up the majority of population in many counties.

This county was named by American Indians for the native [[Creek (people)|Muscogee or Creek people]]. Parts of the then-large county (which extended east to the [[Flint River (Georgia)|Flint River]]) were later taken to create every other neighboring Georgia county, including [[Harris County, Georgia|Harris County]] to the north in 1827<ref>[http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/muscogeehistmaps.htm "Muscogee County History"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050402155539/http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/muscogeehistmaps.htm |date=April 2, 2005 }}, University of Georgia</ref> and [[Chattahoochee County, Georgia|Chattahoochee County]] to the south in 1854.

==Geography==
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|221|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|216|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|4.6|sqmi}} (2.1%) 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 county is located on the [[Atlantic Seaboard fall line|fall line]] between the [[Atlantic coastal plain]] to the south and the [[Piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] to the north. As such, the newly constructed [[Fall Line Freeway]] runs across the northern portion of the county along JR Allen Parkway, and areas across the northern part of the county are hillier compared to the southern part of the county.

The majority of Muscogee County, from north of [[Columbus, Georgia|Columbus]] running northeast in the direction of [[Ellerslie, Georgia|Ellerslie]], is located in the Middle [[Chattahoochee River]]-[[Walter F. George Lake]] subbasin of the [[ACF River Basin]] (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin). The northwestern corner of the county, south of Fortson, is located in the Middle [[Chattahoochee River]]-[[Lake Harding]] subbasin of the same ACF 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 22, 2015}}</ref>

==Government and politics==
{{See also|Columbus, Georgia#Law and government}}
Muscogee County has voted for Democratic candidates by increasing margins since 1992, although partisan leanings have become increasingly stratified by race, class, and in-county migration after 1965. The county has not supported a Republican for president since 1988, but broke free of [[Solid South]] voting patterns earlier than most counties in Georgia. In 2020, [[Joe Biden]] won 61.4% of the vote, the best performance by a Democrat since 1976.
