The document provides a historical overview of Georgia's laws and county changes, highlighting the state's cession of lands to the U.S. in 1802, which established its western boundary. By 1800, Georgia had formed 24 counties from the original ten, utilizing a land grant system known as the "Headright System" that allocated land based on family size, with fees for additional acres. Numerous legislative acts from 1810 to 1920 detail the formation of counties such as Clarke, Coweta, and Hancock, with various compilations documenting these laws and changes throughout the years.
