History
Lumpkin County was officially established on December 3, 1832. The county was named in honor of Wilson Lumpkin, who served in both state houses, as governor, and the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The county was carved out of what were then Cherokee, Hall, and Habersham counties.

Lumpkin County, resting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is 285 square miles in area, approximately one-third of which is located within the Chattahoochee National Forest. The population of our county has grown by 44% over the last ten years with the current estimated population to be over 26,000 people. The median household income in Lumpkin County is $35,598, up from $24,365 in 1989.
