Taliaferro County

Taliaferro County, the 65th county formed in Georgia, was created in 1825. Originally part of Hancock, Greene, Oglethorpe, Wilkes and Warren counties, Taliaferro County was named for Revolutionary War hero and U.S. Congressman Benjamin Taliaferro. The county's name is pronounced as if it were "oliver" preceded by a "t."

Several movies were filmed in the county, including "Coward of the County" with Kenny Rogers and "Through Hazel's Eyes" with Jane Seymour.
