Butts County, Administrative division in central Georgia, United States.
Located 50 miles southeast of Atlanta, Butts County combines rural character with agricultural lands, wooded areas, and rolling hills spanning across the region.
Established in 1825, Butts County emerged from portions of Henry and Monroe counties, named after Captain Samuel Butts who served in the War of 1812.
The county maintains its heritage through historical landmarks, community gatherings, and the transformation of the 1898 courthouse into a museum and visitor center.
Interstate 75 and State Route 16 connect Butts County to major surrounding areas, while Jackson serves as the administrative center for government services.
Jackson Lake, created by the Lloyd Shoals dam construction in 1910, provides recreational activities and shapes the landscape of Butts County.
