County Name and Origin


Clarke County, now consolidated with the City of Athens, took its terri­tory from Jackson County. Still the smallest of all 159 Georgia counties, Clarke was named for General Elijah Clarke of Revolutionary War fame. Athens grew up around the University of Georgia, the oldest state uni­versity, chartered in 1785.
