Bulloch County became Georgia’s 21st county in 1796. Ancestors of the original settlers came from Northern Ireland, England, France, Germany, Scotland and Wales, and enslaved people mostly had West African heritage. The county was named for Archibald Bulloch, president and commander-in-chief of Georgia in 1776. Cotton, turpentine and slavery were early economic forces.
