County Name and Origin


Walton County is an original landlot county designated in 1818 and named for George Walton, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Born in Virginia, he came to Savannah to study law. He was twice governor of Georgia and a U. S. senator in 1795. The county seat, Monroe, was settled as early as the county was formed from Cherokee Indian lands and named for James Monroe, fifth president.
