Did you know?
Montgomery County, the 18th county formed in Georgia, was created in 1793 from part of Washington County. The county was named for Revolutionary War General Richard Montgomery who was mortally wounded at the siege of Quebec. Portions of the original county went to form parts of Wheeler, Tattnall, Toombs, Emanuel, Treutlen and Dodge counties.

The Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers join to form the Altamaha River at the county's southern border.

Almost 53% of the county's land is in farms. Only 20 Georgia counties have a larger proportion of land area dedicated to farming.

Mount Vernon, the county seat of Montgomery County, was incorporated as a town August 26, 1872. The city is named after President George Washington's famous home in Virginia.

The Montgomery County courthouse in Mount Vernon, constructed in 1907, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Located at the intersection of U.S. highways 221 and 280, Mount Vernon is one of the six incorporated municipalities in the county. The others cities are Ailey, Alston, Higgston, Tarrytown and Uvalda.
