Liberty County

Liberty County spreads across lowlands marked by creeks and swamps where several cities and communities are located. Hinesville serves as the county seat and forms the administrative center of the region.

The county was established on December 5, 1777, and emerged from an earlier parish. Its name commemorates the American independence movement of that founding era.

The Midway Museum and Historic Jail in Hinesville reflect the influence of Native American and European settler communities that shaped life here. These places show how different groups of people contributed to the area's development.

Fort Stewart, a major military installation within the county, shapes the local economy and provides significant employment. When planning a visit, remember that military security regulations may restrict access to certain areas.

Saint Catherine's Island lies within the county's boundaries and combines maritime landscapes with mainland terrain at low elevation. This island demonstrates the region's coastal diversity.
