Walton County was created by the Land Lottery Act of 1818 and is named after George Walton, one of the Founding Fathers of this great nation. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, he was one of Georgia’s three signers of the Declaration of Independence; he also served Georgia as a Chief Justice, U.S. Senator, and Governor.
Comprising 329 square miles and located approximately 45 miles east of Atlanta in Georgia’s Piedmont region, Walton is the state’s forty-sixth county. The Walton County Government is housed in the county seat of Monroe (named after our fifth U.S. president, James Monroe).
