Lincoln County

Lincoln County is an administrative division spanning the eastern region of Georgia near the South Carolina border. The landscape features rolling hills and waterways throughout its territory, with several small towns and rural communities connected by local roads.

The county was established in 1796 and named to honor Benjamin Lincoln, a general who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. This naming reflected his importance in the nation's founding period.

The county maintains several historical records and documents through its modernized Clerk's Office, which preserves local heritage for future generations.

County services and administrative functions are available at the Lincoln County Service Center for residents and visitors. Most larger towns within the territory have local offices where you can get information about the area.

The county operates multiple sandbag stations throughout its territory to help residents prepare for potential flood emergencies. This practical measure reflects how the community addresses local environmental risks.
