Georgia’s 145th County
Georgia created Turner County in 1905 from parts of Dooly, Irwin, Wilcox, and Worth counties. It became the state’s 145th county and was named for Henry Gray Turner, a congressman and Georgia Supreme Court justice.
Ashburn had earlier been called Troupville Crossroads and then Marion. It received its current name after the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad surveyed the area in 1889.
Railroads and the Development of Ashburn
Rail access allowed cotton, timber, livestock, and food crops to move toward larger markets. Ashburn grew around depots, warehouses, shops, and processing businesses and became the county seat when Turner County was organized.
The Turner County Courthouse, completed in 1907, is the only courthouse recorded in the county’s history.
The Cow-Hog-Hen Farming Program
When boll weevil damage weakened cotton farming, Turner County introduced Georgia’s first “cow-hog-hen” program. The approach encouraged farmers to combine cattle, hogs, poultry, and multiple crops instead of depending on cotton alone.
The program became a notable example of agricultural diversification. Peanuts, cotton, corn, vegetables, livestock, poultry, and food processing remain important to the county.
Sycamore and Rebecca
Sycamore was named for local sycamore trees and grew along the railroad south of Ashburn. Rebecca was founded in 1904 and was reportedly named for the daughter of a community resident.
