History*
Dodge County was created in 1870 from parts of Montgomery, Pulaski and Telfair counties. Georgia's 134th county was named for William E. Dodge, a New York businessman who owned large tracts of forest land in Georgia. Dodge helped persuade Congress to remove taxation from timber and in 1908 built the first courthouse in the county as a gift. The current courthouse was recently renovated by the county.

Eastman is the home of the original Stuckey Candy Plant and is referred to as the "Candy Capital of Georgia." The candy shop, pecan orchards, and several homes are available for touring.
