Henry Tift founded Tifton in 1872 around a sawmill and worker settlement. The meeting of major rail lines in 1888 helped transform the town into a commercial and shipping center.

Tift County promotes itself as the “Plant Capital of the World” because of the variety of plants and vegetables grown and shipped from the area. The University of Georgia Tifton campus conducts research on crops, soils, pests, and environmentally sound production systems.
