Did you know?
Marion County was created in 1827. Georgia's 72nd county was named for the Revolutionary War hero General Francis Marion. Known as the "Swamp Fox," Marion campaigned successfully against the British in South Carolina.

Fort Perry was built in Marion County by General John Floyd, on the old Alabama Road. It was named in honor of the hero of the Lake Erie Battle in 1812.

Two antebellum courthouses still stand in Marion County: the Old Courthouse in Tazewell, erected in 1848 at a cost of $1,637, and the present courthouse built in 1850 in Buena Vista. The very first courthouse was built in 1839 in Horry, but burned down in 1845.

Another interesting tourist attraction is Pasquan, created by Eddie Owens Martin on his family farm. Martin painted and decorated virtually every square foot of every structure on the farm inside and out with images from Asian, African and Native American cultures.

Buena Vista, the county seat of Marion County, was incorporated January 26, 1850. Buena Vista is the only incorporated municipality in the county. Originally known as Pea Ridge, the city was renamed in honor of a famous battle in the Mexican War.

The name "Buena Vista" is of Spanish origin that translates into "good view". The city is named for General Zachary Taylor's victory over Santa Ana at Buena Vista.

Buena Vista is home to such attractions as the Silver Moon Music Barn, the Elvis Collection Museum, the National Country Music Museum and the Front Porch Music Hall.

According to 2000 Census, the City of Buena Vista had a population of 1,664 persons. Between 1990 and 2000, the city experienced a population increase of 13.0%, compared to the state growth during this period of 26.4%.
