==History==
Paulding County was created from [[Cherokee County, Georgia|Cherokee County]] by an act of the [[Georgia General Assembly]] on December 3, 1832. In 1851, a portion of Paulding County was used to help create [[Polk County, Georgia|Polk County]]. Other portions of Paulding County were annexed to neighboring counties ([[Campbell County, Georgia|Campbell]], [[Carroll County, Georgia|Carroll]], [[Cobb County, Georgia|Cobb]], [[Douglas County, Georgia|Douglas]], [[Haralson County, Georgia|Haralson]], and Polk) between 1832 and 1874. Between 1850 and 1874, Paulding County was expanded through annexation of parts of Carroll, Cobb, Douglas, and Polk counties.

The county is named after [[John Paulding]] (October 16, 1758 – February 18, 1818), who was famous for the capture of the British spy [[John André|Major John André]] in 1780 during the [[American Revolution]].<ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/p.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030917122451/http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/p.pdf |archive-date=September 17, 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=172 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}}</ref>  André was on a mission carrying secret papers from [[Benedict Arnold]] when he was captured.

==Geography==
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|314|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|312|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|2.1|sqmi}} (0.7%) 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 [[Tallapoosa River]] originates in Paulding County.

The county is mainly located in the [[Piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] region of the state, with a few [[mountain]]s located in the county that exceed elevations of 1,000&nbsp;ft. The highest point in Paulding county is a small, [[hill|unnamed hill]] located in [[Yorkville, Georgia|Yorkville]] with an elevation of {{convert|1410|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} above sea level, However it is located on already elevated base and therefore cannot be considered a true mountain. The highest true mountain in Paulding County is [[Vinson Mountain (Georgia)|Vinson Mountain]] with an elevation of {{convert|1330|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} above sea level, although much of the mountain's base is not entirely within the county.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://listsofjohn.com/searchres?c=1776 | title=Paulding County GA Peaks List }}</ref>  These mountains are considered to be part of the southernmost extensions of the [[Appalachian Mountains]].

The southeastern portion of Paulding County, from just north of [[Hiram, Georgia|Hiram]] to north of [[Villa Rica, Georgia|Villa Rica]], is located in the Middle [[Chattahoochee River]]-[[Lake Harding]] sub-basin of the [[ACF River Basin]] (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin). The very western portion of the county, centered on [[Georgia State Route 101|State Route 101]], is located in the Upper [[Tallapoosa River]] sub-basin of the [[ACT River Basin]] (Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin), with the majority of the central and northern portions of Paulding County located in the [[Etowah River]] sub-basin of the same ACT 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 20, 2015}}</ref>

Paulding County is governed by a five-member board of commissioners, including a chairman and four post members. In the State Legislature, Paulding County is represented by two State Senators and four State Representatives. For federal elections, it is located in [[Georgia's 14th congressional district]].

Paulding County has been a Republican stronghold since [[1984 United States presidential election in Georgia|1984]], but in recent elections, the Republican strength has decreased.
