Decatur Count is situated in the southwestern corner of the State of Georgia bounded on the south by Florida and on the west by Alabama. The Chattahoochee River is the western boundary and the Flint River runs through the middle of the county. Both of these rivers are navigable for the larger river boats, and their outlet is at Apalachicola on the Gulf of Mexico, in close touch with the Panama Canal. The distance in time to Montgomery, Alabama, by rail is six hours, to Savannah and Jacksonville eight hours, to Atlanta twelve hours and to New York thirty-two hours. Size. The county is about forty by thirty miles and contains more than three-quarter of a million of acres. There is little of this that is not available for agriculture, and most of it is susceptible of a high state of cultivation, as will be seen by a casual survey of the county. This is brought about by both the nature of the soil, the undulating character of the lands and the many streams and rivers traversing the county that make a perfect system of drainage. Population. The population is approximately 35,000, about 60 percent, whites and 40 percent, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
