Bryan County

Bryan County was the 16th county formed in Georgia, from parts of Chatham county. It was named for Jonathan Bryan, a member of the King's Council who accompanied Oglethorpe and was an early critic of oppressive English rule.

The Civil War movie Glory, starring award-winning actor Denzel Washington, was filmed in Bryan County.

Annual special events in the county include the Fourth of July Barbecue, Picnic and Craft show; the Labor Day and Winter Musters; and the Memorial Day Confederate Re-enactment.
