Elbert County...Where Our Home is
Yours
|
Located on 374 square miles of
rolling hills, Elbert County lies on
the South Carolina border and has a
population of 20,500. The County is
bound on three sides by five
different counties: Hart,
Lincoln, Madison, Oglethorpe, and
Wilkes. Elbert County has an
extensive history dating back to
Revolutionary times when it was
first a part of Wilkes County, one
of the six original counties in
Georgia. In 1790, Elbert County was
established when it was divided from
Wilkes County.
Known for various attractions including granite
monuments and colonial homes, Elbert
County is home of the Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course, Richard B.
Russell and
 Clark's Hill lakes, and,
of course, the 20,000-seat Granite
Bowl, home of the Elbert County Blue
Devils. As the industrial center of
Northeast Georgia, Elbert County is
a prosperous, growing community
boasting an economy as solid as they
come - the area's granite monument
production accounts for one-third of
total production nationwide.
