County Name and Origin


Effingham County is the fourth oldest county, having been created from the Colonial parishes of St. Matthew and St. Phillip in 1777. Its name honors Lord Effingham, an English champion of Colonial rights. Much of the county was settled by Salzburgers from Germany who joined Oglethorpe in 1733. Springfield is the county seat, though not the first city to hold that status.
