As of the 2010 census, the population was 18,411.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13025.html )〕 The county seat is Nahunta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Brantley County is part of the Brunswick, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area. == History == Georgia voters passed a state constitutional amendment on November 2, 1920, to form Brantley County from pieces of Charlton, Pierce, and Wayne counties. The younger Brantley served as a state representative, state senator, and eight-term United States representative. Since the Okefenokee Swamp is to the south and west of the county, passage through Brantley County was essential to the railroads running from the coast through the southern part of the state. Fort McIntosh was built in the early years of the American Revolutionary War to protect the extensive herds of cattle. It was placed under siege from Tories in 1777 and eventually surrendered. Fort Mudge was built in the county at about the same time. This fort was immortalized by Walt Kelly in the ''Pogo'' comic strip. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brantley County, Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
