Site of First Randolph County Courthouse
The area of this square marks the site of the first and second courthouses of Randolph County. The first, a two-story frame building, was erected in 1836. It was replaced in 1842 by a brick structure with entrances facing in four directions. A high fence with four stiles enclosed the area. When the present courthouse, one block north, was completed in 1886, this “Old Courthouse Lot” was conveyed to the City of Cuthbert “for use as a public park forever.”
Marker is at the intersection of Court Street/Blakely Street (Old U.S. 27) and College Street/Broad Street (U.S. 82), in the median on Court Street/Blakely Street.
