County Name and Origin


Haralson County on the Alabama border was drawn from Carroll and Polk counties in 1856. Again its founders sought a name commemorat­ing a military man, General Hugh A. Haralson of the Georgia Militia, a member of Congress and chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs during the Mexican War. The act authorizing the county entrusted judges of the inferior court with locating a site for public buildings. They chose the site of the present county seat and named it Buchanan for the last Democrat president before the Civil War, James Buchanan.
