Discover Bainbridge
Bainbridge, the seat of Decatur County, stands on the Flint River in a frontier region once shared by the Creek and Seminole nations. The first European settlement here was a trading post set up by James Burges in the late 18th century, and the spot was known as Burges's Bluff. In the early 1800s towns with ties to both Creeks and Seminoles, among them Pucknawhitla and Fowltown, occupied the area. After the Creek War, the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson forced the Creeks to cede more than 21 million acres, much of it in south Georgia.
More about Bainbridge
American officials at nearby Fort Scott then demanded that the people of Fowltown, a Seminole village led by Chief Neamathla, leave the ceded land. Neamathla refused, saying his people had not taken part in the Creek War. On November 21, 1817, troops under Major David E. Twiggs marched on Fowltown, and the Battle of Fowltown, fought a few miles south of present-day Bainbridge, marked the beginning of the First Seminole War. Decatur County was formed in 1823 with the town as its seat in 1824, and the town, named for Commodore William Bainbridge, commander of the USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides," was incorporated on December 22, 1829. On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael caused widespread damage across the city. Sources The Historical Marker Database: Bainbridge Beginnings; The Battle of Fowltown Wikipedia: Bainbridge, Georgia
