Gibson, Georgia since 1858
When those in power at the time realized that the government should be brought nearer the people, Rep. Wylie W. Kitchens introduced a bill which passed, creating Glascock County on December 19, 1857. The new county was carved from Warren and Jefferson Counties and was named for Brigadier General Thomas Glascock.
Surveyor Seaborn Kitchens surveyed the 20 acres and laid the lots in 1858. Gibson was aptly named for Judge William Gibson (1822-1893) who donated $500 to be used for public buildings in the new county. It was and is such an honor to recognize a man of so many accomplishments! He served in the Confederate Army, was wounded at Gettysburg, was taken prisoner by the Union Army, and was released in 1864 under a prisoner exchange between the North and South. Judge Gibson was buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Augusta, Ga.
Gibson, the County Seat of Glascock, is a special place for 663 people who are proud to call it home. It is a friendly and safe place for many who have been there all their lives. It is located at the intersection of Ga. Hwy 102 and 171. Gibson is proud to boast of an outstanding school system, a public library, more than twenty churches located in the county, and several active civic clubs as well as several interesting and efficiently run businesses.
