Page "Charlton County, Georgia" Paragraph 1

Charlton County was created from a portion of Camden County, Georgia by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on February 18, 1854.

Additional lands from Ware County, Georgia, were added to Charlton's borders by an 1855 act of the General Assembly.

In 1856, an additional legislative act redefined the Charlton – Camden borders again with each county ceding land to the other.
