A Quick Look at Burke County, Georgia
Burke County was created in 1777 as one of the original
eight counties in Georgia. It was first called the Parish of St. George, but was
renamed to honor Edmund Burke, a member of the British Parliament who supported
the interests of the American colonies. Waynesboro, the county seat, was named
for the famous Revolutionary War hero “mad Anthony” Wayne.
With 832 square miles, Burke County is one of the largest
counties in the eastern United States. Its fertile farmland produces cotton,
corn, soybeans, wheat and peanuts. The population of Burke County in 2003 was
22,949. Burke County is known as the “Bird Dog Capital of the World.”
