History

In the Piedmont Region of Georgia as well as part of the modern Atlanta metro area, Henry County was formed in 1821 as an original county from the Creek cession of that year. Its county seat, McDonough, is on US-23 about 30 miles SSE of Atlanta. Henry is bordered by the counties of DeKalb, Rockdale, Newton, Butts, Spalding and Clayton.
