County Name and Origin


Colquitt County was created from Lowndes and Thomas counties in 1856, later giving up part of its land to Irwin County. It is the namesake of the Reverend Walter T. Colquitt who served as a U. S. senator and a local judge as well as a Methodist minister. Moultrie, the county seat, is named for General William Moultrie, a Revolutionary War figure.
