HISTORY OF TROUP COUNTY
BOUNDARY CHANGES. The first change in the bounds of Troup County was made on December 24, 1827, at which time parts of the county were transferred to Harris, Talbot and Meriwether counties; and the three dis- tricts of Carroll County west of the Chattahoochee River on southern end of the county were transferred to Troup: 14th, 15th and 16th.
The county of Heard was created on December 22, 1830, and a portion of Troup County in the general shape of a triangle was transferred to Heard County, leaving only four and one-half miles of the original county boundary on the north side, and adjacent to Coweta County.
The following minor changes of addition and subtraction were made as indicated below:
February 17, 1854, the north half of land lot 108 of the 5th dis- trict transferred to Troup.
March 1, 1856, land lot 73 of 14th district, partly in Heard, transferred as a whole to Troup.
March 4, 1856, land lots 62, 63, 64, 51, 52, and 39 of 14th dis- trict transferred to Troup.
February 20, 1877, land lots 37 and 60 of 11th district, the parts north of Yellow Jacket Creek, transferred to Coweta.
PRESENT BOUNDARY. Noting the indentations of the land lot transfers in the preceding paragraph, the boundary lines of Troup County are as follows: Commencing on the Alabama line at the northwest corner of land lot 160 of: 15th district, the boundary is a straight line to the south- east corner of land lot 48 of 14th district on the bank of the Chattahoochee River; thence up the river to the mouth of Potato Creek on the east side of the river in land lot 213 of 12th district; thence in a straight line to the northeast corner of land lot 49 of 12th district (southeast corner of land lot 120 of 3rd district of Coweta County); thence east to northeast corner of land lot 5 of 11th district; thence south on the land lot lines to southeast corner of land lot 96 of 3rd district (there is an eastward off- set on the line between the 7th and the 3rd districts of about 600 feet) ; thence westward on land lot lines to the Chattahoochee River at West Point; thence northerly on the Alabama line to the point of beginning in the 15th district.
PRESENT DISTRICTS. The above-mentioned changes in the boundaries of Troup County left in the present county the following land districts and land lots; the fractions in the 3rd and the 4th districts were due to errors of the engineers and are rectangular in shape; the other fractions are due to the curvature of the Chattahoochee River and the oblique direc- tion of the Alabama line:

MILITIA DISTRICTS. In the original plan of military organization of Geor- gia in operation when Troup County was created, the counties were divided into militia districts, each of which was required to have two hundred or more men capable of bearing arms and to have a militia muster at least annually for military training. Many of them mustered quarterly for such drills. New districts were permitted only when the population of districts increased to such an extent that the formation of the new districts would not deplete the old districts below the minimum of two hundred. The formation of new districts was granted from the office of the secretary of state of Georgia, and they were numbered by that office in the order of creation throughout the state. Hence the smaller numbers are the oldest districts. The first three were formed in 1826 or 1827. The following are the present districts, the boundaries of which may be seen on the accom- panying map of the districts, Georgia Militia Districts, (usually abbreviated G. M. D.) with the names and numbers.

BOUNDARIES
The names of these districts are suggested by the muster locality in all the districts but that of Rough Edge. The original name of this district was Pleasant Hill. In this district the momentous question of building the little courtroom, a small building about sixteen by twenty feet in . dimensions, and the cost of lumber wherewith to build, were serious political questions. After the decision to build was reached, it was decided to sub- mit to the voters the difference in cost of building the house with "Square Edge" or "Rough Edge" lumber. The election was ordered and "Rough Edge" carried a majority of the votes, and gave the new name of Rough Edge to the old Pleasant Hill district.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. The school districts of Troup County as adopted by the Troup County Board of Education on December 19, 1930, are shown on the accompanying school district map.
