County Name and Origin


Meriwether County was drawn from Troup County in 1827. It is named for General David Meriwether of the state militia who was often employed by the federal government to negotiate with the Indians. Greenville, the county seat, was named for General Nathaniel Greene, Revolutionary War hero. Warm Springs, regarded as a healing spa from earliest times, is in Meriwether County as is President Franklin Roosevelt's Little White House.
