Morgan County, known for its beautiful rural scenery and Antebellum homes, was formed from sections of Baldwin County in 1807.
Morgan County is also home to the City of Rutledge, founded in 1845, the City of Bostwick, and the City of Buckhead, founded in 1891.
Madison has the 2nd largest designated historic district in Georgia (under Macon), which encompasses most of the town. Some of the state of Georgia's most stunning Antebellum homes can be seen on the walking/driving tour of the historic distrct. During the Civil War, Sherman's Army spared Madison destruction because it was the home of pro-Union Senator Joshua Hill.
