==History==
{{see also|Holt Brothers Banking Company Building|City Cemetery (Sandersville, Georgia)|National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Georgia}}
Established by British settlers in Creek territory in the 18th century, shortly after the American Revolution, the town of Sandersville became the county seat of Washington County in 1796.<ref name="state">{{cite web|author=State of Georgia|title=City of Sandersville|url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2411|access-date=1 September 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haveman|first=Christopher D.|date=2009-08-07|title=The Removal of the Creek Indians from the Southeast, 1825-1838|url=https://etd.auburn.edu/handle/10415/2184|language=en}}</ref> Creek leaders had not yet ceded their territory when Sandersville was settled. According to a book on Georgia place names, the city was named after M. Saunders, a local store owner.<ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/s.pdf| title=Georgia Place-Names: Their History and Origins | publisher=Winship Press | author=Krakow, Kenneth K. | year=1975 | location=Macon, GA | pages=197 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}}</ref> The settlement was located at an intersection of Native American Indian trails, and later the site of Saunders' general store.

The town appears on Anthony Finley's 1827 map of Georgia.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Georgia|url=https://davidrumsey.georeferencer.com/maps/962a7e10-3c15-528e-97d5-16f921347b1f/|publisher=Klokan Technologies GmbH|access-date=2020-06-26}}</ref>

In 1864, during the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], General [[William Tecumseh Sherman|William T. Sherman]] skirmished and then paused in Sandersville during his [[Sherman's March to the Sea|March to the Sea]]. Brief resistance to the advancing Union forces was centered on the courthouse. As they left, Sherman's troops burned both it and the jail, but left the rest of the town intact.<ref name="NGE">{{cite web| url = http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2411| title = Washington County| access-date = 1 September 2009| last = Hollingsworth | first = Brenda}}</ref>  A new [[Washington County Courthouse (Georgia)|Washington County Courthouse]] was built in 1869.

The [[Sandersville Railroad]] was built in 1893 as a part of the [[Central of Georgia Railway]], but still operates today as a privately owned shortline that connects to [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]'s Georgia Division Savannah District at [[Tennille, Georgia]], 4 miles to the south.

According to the U.S. National Archive, Nation of Islam leader [[Elijah Muhammad]] grew up in Sandersville in the 1890s and 1900s.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-08-25|title=Elijah Muhammad|url=https://www.archives.gov/research/african-americans/individuals/elijah-muhammad|access-date=2020-06-26|website=National Archives|language=en}}</ref> He is reported to have said that, in Sandersville, he witnessed three lynchings before the age of 10.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|10.45|km2}}, of which {{convert|9.1|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} (0.87%) is water. The area is along the "Fall Line" that separates the Piedmont Plateau and the Atlantic Coastal Plain and is characterized by rolling hills, red clay, pine and hardwood forest, swamplands, and sand beds. The area tapers off from north to south and becomes more flat. Heading north it becomes more hilly with higher elevations.
