 Created in 1924 from Houston and Macon counties by the state legislature, Peach County was Georgia's 161st county and the last county to be created. (In 1932 Milton and Campbell counties merged with Fulton, leaving the final number of counties in the state at 159.)
Peach County was the last county formed in Georgia. Created from Houston and Macon counties, it is named after the area's most famous crop. Byron was named for the English writer and poet, Lord Byron. It was the site of the South's largest "pop festival" held on the Fourth of July weekend in 1970. Some interesting historical sites include the McArthur-Saxon House (1850), the Thweat-Brown Home (1863), and the Everett-Culpepper-Grady Home (1834).
Fort Valley is home to Fort Valley State University, a member of the University System of Georgia. It is a historically black college and a land-grant institution.
