what county is milledgeville
Brittain, Thompson, Bray & Brown. In June 1806, the Baldwin County's first court session was held in a log cabin in Hillsborough (a small settlement today located in Jasper County about 25 miles northwest of Milledgeville). In Dec. 1807, the legislature formed four new counties from portions of Baldwin County. The same month, the legislature designated Milledgeville county seat, since Hillsborough was now part of newly created Randolph County (later renamed Jasper County). Milledgeville was laid out to be Georgia's new state capital and first settled in 1803.
