BIBB COUNTY RECORDS & LINKS

Trivia:  Macon's City Hall served as the temporary state capitol from
November, 1864 to March, 1865.

HISTORY OF Macon, Georgia - Link Nestled beside the Ocmulgee River, Macon's lush forests and rolling hills attracted settlement long before written history. The fruitful fields and mild climate sustained some of the earliest known North American cultures and eventually piqued the interest of European explorers. After Hernando DeSoto arrived, the location grew in importance as a trading post and treaty meeting place. Macon became a thriving city, and, spared the ravages of the Civil War, created its place among Georgia's premier communities.
