Echols County was created from Clinch and Lowndes Counties on Dec. 13, 1858, by an act of the General Assembly. Georgia’s 132nd county was named for Brigadier-General Robert Echols (1798-1847), a Georgian who died during the Mexican War. Prior to the war, Echols had represented Walton County in the Georgia House of Representatives (1824-1829) and in the Georgia Senate (1830-1844), including six years as president of that body (1835-37, 1839, and 1841-42).

      The Skirmish at Cow Creek<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn August of 1836, the Creek Indians camped along Warrior Creek, Little River, Alapaha River, and Cow Creek were fleeing into the Okefenokee Swamp. Their purpose was to join up with the Seminole Indians in Florida. On the 27th of August, the militia companies commanded by Colonel Henry Blair, Captain Lindsay, and Captain Levi J. Knight, caught up with a band of Creeks at Cow Creek. At that time the creek was known as ” Troublesome Ford” near Statenville. The skirmish lasted about ten or fifteen minutes, with the enemy being completely routed.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
