Henry County, Administrative division in Georgia, United States
Henry County is an administrative division in north-central Georgia that includes the cities of McDonough, Hampton, Locust Grove, and Stockbridge. The area encompasses residential neighborhoods and commercial centers managed through a local government structure with a chairperson and district representatives.
Georgia's state legislature established Henry County in 1821 on territory that once belonged to the Creek Nation, naming it after American Revolution leader Patrick Henry. This founding marked the beginning of organized settlement in the region.
The county population reflects demographic shifts, with African Americans representing 48 percent, White residents 35 percent, and Hispanic residents 7 percent of inhabitants.
The main cities within the county are accessible by local roads and offer a range of services and facilities. Visitors should plan around varying traffic conditions depending on which areas they visit.
The Atlanta Motor Speedway, a major racing facility, is located within the county and regularly attracts motorsport fans. This venue shapes much of the region's character and energy.
