Description
The Rebuild......By Reid Callaway
Historic Hancock County Court House
Sparta, Georgia
The Hancock County Courthouse was destroyed by fire a few years ago and this is an image of the rebuilt courthouse in rural Georgia.
Hancock County was created in 1793 as Georgia's 15th County, and the City of Sparta was chartered in 1805. Hancock County was originally part of Greene and Washington Counties, and was named for John Hancock, the first signer of the Declaration of Independence. Major Charles Abercrombie, a Revolutionary War solider was granted extensive land grants and from his land grant in Hancock County, "he laid out the lots" for the City of Sparta, including the public lots for the courthouse and the square.
Four Georgia governors have hailed from Hancock County: William Rabun, James McDonald, Nathaniel Harris, and William Northern.
Hancock County is one of the most historic counties in Georgia, with over 600 historic sites and structures. It has been noted that Hancock County has a concentration of historic architecture you won't see anywhere else in the State of Georgia.
