Elbert County, Administrative division in Northeast Georgia, US
Elbert County is a county in northeast Georgia that spans rolling terrain with forests and farmland. The region borders several neighboring counties and forms part of the rural landscape of the state.
The county was established in 1790 from parts of Wilkes County and quickly grew into a center of granite production. This industry shaped the economy and identity of the region for generations.
The Granite Bowl stadium, with 20,000 seats, serves as the home field for local high school football games of the Elbert County Blue Devils.
Visitors find the main administrative offices in Elberton, the county seat. The region is organized around smaller towns and requires a car for convenient exploration.
Elberton, the county seat, owes its name and reputation to the long tradition of granite craftsmanship that local artisans developed. The stonemasons and sculptors here created specialized techniques that remain visible in their workshops today.
