 Appling
County was Georgia's 40th county, created in 1818 from treaty lands
obtained from the Creek Indians. The county was named for Colonel
Daniel Appling, who was considered Georgia's most outstanding soldier
in the War of 1812.
The county has three
incorporated municipalities: Baxley, the county seat, Graham, and
Surrency. Incorporated in 1875, Baxley was named for an early settler
who came from coastal North Carolina.
The Georgia Power
Company's Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Power Plant is located in the county
on a 2,200-acre site on the Altamaha River. Completed in 1974, the
Hatch Plant makes Georgia Power the county's largest employer.
