Henry County, Administrative division in Georgia, United States
Henry County is an administrative division in north-central Georgia comprising several municipalities with residential neighborhoods and commercial areas blended throughout. Its territory is crossed by major highways that connect it to the nearby metropolitan region.
The Georgia State Legislature created the county in 1821 after acquiring land from the Creek Nation through a treaty agreement. The territory was named to honor a significant figure in early American history.
The county was home to different Native American communities before European settlement arrived. This heritage shapes the stories and place names you encounter throughout the region today.
The county is best explored by car, as major highways make travel to neighboring areas straightforward and convenient. The best time to visit is during the milder seasons when weather conditions are pleasant and comfortable.
The county has developed into an important research and education center in recent decades, hosting several universities and research institutions. This growth has substantially transformed the landscape and character of the region.
