Campbell County was created on Dec. 20, 1828 by an act of the General Assembly. Formed from portions of Carroll, Coweta, DeKalb, and Fayette counties, Campbell County's boundaries were specified as:

. . . beginning on the west side of Line creek, between the counties of Fayette and Coweta, at the corner of fractions No. 162 and 163, in the seventh district, according to the plan of the survey of the county of Coweta, running thence due west, on the line from said fractions in the plan of said district, intersecting the eighth district of said county, at the corner between lots number fourteen and fifteen in said district, on the district line, thence due west, on the line dividing said lots, to the Chattahoochee river, intersecting with said river, at the corner of fractions No one hundred and seventy-two, one hundred and seventy-three and one hundred and seventy-four, in said eighth district, thence crossing the river to the corner of fractions No ninety-three and ninety-six, in the third district of Carroll county, thence due north [Illegible Text] the [Illegible Text] running from said fractions through said district, intersecting the district No. two, at the corner of lots No. nine and ten, in said district, thence running due north, on the line between said lots, to the Cherokee line, thence east on the Cherokee line, to its intersection, with the Chattahoochee river, at or near to Buzzard Roost Island, crossing said river, in a straight line to the corner of fractions No. fifty-three and fifty five, in the fourteenth district, of originally Fayette now DeKalb county, thence on the line running due south, from said corner, to the Fayette county line, intersecting said line, at the corner of lots No. one hundred and seventy-seven and one hundred and seventy-eight, in the ninth district, of the county of Fayette, thence in a direct line, to the corner of fractions No. twenty-nine and thirty, in said ninth district, on Line creek, and thence down Line creek to the beginning, and all that part of the counties of Coweta, Carroll, Fayette and DeKalb, comprehended within the lines aforesaid . . . .

The new county was named for noted politician and lawyer Col. Duncan G. Campbell (1787-1828). In 1825, Campbell had helped negotiate the Treaty of Indian Springs, in which the Creeks ceded a portion of the land later used to fashion Campbell County.

In an act of Oct.17, 1870, the legislature used portions of Campbell County to create Douglas County, at the same time transferring sections of Fayette County to Campbell. According to that legislation, Campbell County's new boundaries were prescribed as:

. . . beginning on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River, on the dividing line between the counties of Campbell and Coweta; running along said line to Nixon Ford, on Line Creek, at the southwest corner of fraction lot of land number one hundred and seventy-eight (178) in the original seventh (7th) district of Fayette county; thence running north along the dividing line between the counties of Fayette and Campbell to the southwest corner of fractional lot of land number nine (9) in the original ninth (9th) district of Fayette county; thence running direct to the southeast corner of lot of land number one hundred and eighty-eight (188) in the thirteenth district of Fayette county, intersecting the Clayton line; thence along the dividing line, between the counties of Fayette and Clayton, to the Fulton county line; thence along the dividing line of Fayette and Fulton counties to Campbell county line; thence along the dividing line of Fulton and Campbell counties to the Chattahoochee River; thence down said river to the point of beginning. . . .

On Aug. 9, 1929, the legislature passed an act to merge Campbell County with Fulton County, subject to voter approval in referendums in each county. Subsequently, Fulton and Campbell County voters approved the consolidation, which became effective Jan. 1, 1932.

Campbell County Census Records

Federal Population Schedules that exist for Georgia are 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890 (fragment, see below), 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. The 1820 census is the earliest enumeration of Georgia's population to have survived, making it necessary to substitute other lists for the missing censuses. Land lottery, military and tax lists, and other records, are available as census substitutes and supplements for the 1820 and earlier censuses.

The first three census schedules for Georgia (1790, 1800 & 1810) are missing. A total of seventeen volumes of 1790-1820 censuses were lost by the federal government, evidently before 1895, and the cause is unknown. Tax lists for various years for a few of the counties have been published.. These can be used as a substitution for the first three census schedules. Additionally, Wills, deeds, tax digests, court minutes, voter lists, and newspapers can be searched to locate ancestors during this period The 1820 schedules for Franklin, Rabun, and Twiggs Counties are missing.

Georgia conducted state censuses for various years from 1787 to 1866. Only a relatively few of these returns survive, and they are only lists of heads of households with some minor statistical information. The returns prior to 1852 have been published in various sources. Later census returns, when they survive, are almost all on microfilm at the Georgia Department of Archives and History . The Georgia Census, 1790-1890 contains the following indexes: 1790 Tax Substitute Index; 1792-1819 Tax Lists Index; 1800 Oglethorpe County Territorial Census Index; 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860 & 1870 Federal Census Index; 1840 Pensioners List; 1838 & 1845 State Census Index; ,1860 Slave Schedule; 1890 Veterans Schedule.
