Bibb County, Administrative division in central Georgia, United States.
Bibb County spans 255 square miles of land in Georgia, featuring the city of Macon as its governmental center and main population hub.
The county, established in 1822, received its name from William Wyatt Bibb, a Georgia politician who became the first elected governor of Alabama.
Four higher education institutions shape the educational landscape of Bibb County: Wesleyan College, Mercer University, Macon State College, and Central Georgia Technical College.
The 2014 consolidation of Macon and Bibb County governments streamlined public services under a single administrative structure with a mayor and ten commissioners.
Located on Georgia's fall line, where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain, Bibb County marks the northernmost point for steamboat navigation on the Ocmulgee River.
