Warner County Proposed In Georgia Asks Creation
The southeastern Meriwether northern Talbot and northeastern Harris region petitions the 1918 Georgia legislature to form Warner County. It would cover about 2220 square miles with Manchester as county seat and include parts of Bullochville Raleigh Shiloh Chalybeate Springs and surrounding districts. The plan cites rail access gaps and road conditions, predicts a population above 10 500 and argues the three existing counties would still be among the larger in middle Georgia while taxes and governance would improve with a new county structure.
