County Name and Origin


Cook County was created from Berrien County lands in 1918. Its name honors General Philip Cook who fought in both the Seminole War and the Civil War, then served in Congress. He was the Georgia secretary of state for 24 years and a member of the commission that oversaw con­struction of the State Capitol Building. Adel is the county seat and the location of a "bottomless" lake formed by a lime sink.
