Discover Lumpkin
Lumpkin, the seat of Stewart County, is named for Wilson Lumpkin, governor, congressman and senator, who supported the removal of the Creek and Cherokee. The town was incorporated on March 30, 1829. It was named seat of Randolph County on December 2, 1830, and three weeks later, when Stewart County was created from Randolph on December 23, 1830, it became Stewart's seat instead. The county is named for Brigadier General Daniel Stewart, a Revolutionary soldier.
More about Lumpkin
The first courthouse, built of logs in August 1830 on a hill between two Indian trails to Florida, served as a blockhouse during the Creek uprising of 1836. A two-story frame courthouse stood until 1895, when a brick one replaced it; it was rebuilt in 1922 after a fire. Lumpkin grew as a stagecoach town trading with the cotton planters of the Black Belt, whose wealth depended on enslaved labor, and after the war many freedmen stayed as sharecroppers and tenant farmers. The architect John Wellborn Root was born here. Eight miles west are the Providence Canyons, often called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon," formed as water running down old Indian paths cut into the land. Named for an old church that had to be moved out of their path, they expose 43 kinds of brightly colored soil, and the largest is half a mile long and 150 feet deep.
