Pike County was
created from Monroe County in west central Georgia
by the state legislature. Later, parts of Pike
County were used to create Upson (1824), Spalding
(1851), and Lamar (1920) counties. Pike County,
which comprises 218 square miles, and its county
seat, Zebulon, are named after Zebulon Pike, a
general in the War of 1812 (1812-15) and an explorer
of the Louisiana Territory.
Agricultural and
forest products have traditionally been the economic
mainstay in Pike County. Early crops were cotton and
peaches. Later, poultry and soybeans became
important farm products as well. Beginning in the
1970s, the county emerged as one of metropolitan
Atlanta's bedroom communities. By 2000 more than 75
percent of Pike County's residents were employed
outside the county.
