Habersham County was created by acts of the Legislature December 15, 1818 and was named for Joseph Habersham (1751-1815) of Savannah, who had a summer home near Clarksville. He served in the Revolution as a Lieut. Col. in the Georgia Continental line; was twice Speaker of the General Assembly; Mayor of Savannah (1792-1793); and Postmaster General of the United States (1795-1801).
