Elbert County Board of Commissioners

About the Area

Elbert County was established in 1790 when it was divided from Wilkes County. Lying along the border with South Carolina, Elbert County is situated on 374 square miles of rolling hills, and is bound on three sides by five other counties: Hart, Lincoln, Madison, Oglethorpe, and Wilkes.

Elbert County has a population of more than 19,000 people who enjoy the various attractions for which the county is known: granite buildings, statues and monuments, colonial homes, Arrowhead Pointe Golf Course, Richard B. Russell and Clark's Hill lakes, Bobby Brown Park and, of course, the 20,000-seat Granite Bowl, home of the Elbert County Blue Devils.
