History*

Taliaferro County, the 65th county formed in Georgia, was created in 1825. Taliaferro County was named for Revolutionary War hero and U.S. Congressman Benjamin Taliaferro. The county's name is pronounced as if it were "oliver" preceded by a "t."

The Alexander H. Stephens State Park and the A.H. Stephens Memorial are both in the county. The county has several listings in the National Register of Historic Places. Included are Liberty Hall, Colonsay Plantation, and the Taliaferro County Courthouse.

Several movies have been filmed in Taliaferro County, including Coward of the County (with Kenny Rogers) and Through Hazel's Eyes (with Jane Seymour).

Taliaferro County has a joint school system with Greene County.
