Crawford County Courthouse (Georgia)

The Crawford County Courthouse in Knoxville, Georgia served as the Crawford County courthouse from 1832 to 2001. For years before it went out of service, the courthouse was the oldest courthouse still in use in Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.〔
==History==

In an act of December 23, 1822, the legislature authorized Crawford County's initial inferior court to select a site to serve as county seat and provide for construction of a courthouse with a provision that such site "be as near the center of the county as convenience will admit" (Ga. Laws 1822, p. 23). The same act provided that until a courthouse could be built, Crawford County courts and elections would be held at the house of Imlay Vansciver. In Dec. 1823, the legislature designated Knoxville as the county seat. At some point thereafter, Crawford County's first courthouse was built. That structure burned down in 1829 or 1830. The following year, construction of a new courthouse began. The new building was completed in January 1832. Since then, there have been numerous repairs and remodeling, with extensive interior renovations and construction of a small addition in the late 1960s. Around 1890, a new railroad was built through the middle of Crawford County following a north-south route. For whatever reason, the railroad's path came near, but skipped, the county seat of Knoxville. The historic structure may become the home of the Crawford County Historical Society.
