Bibb County/Houston County Border



While gathering information along Industrial Highway, the 184 year old county border between Bibb County and Houston County was revealed to be based on a number of improperly documented county markers. The possible errors favored Bibb County and in no way impeded the development of The Borderlands so construction was able to continue as scheduled.

It would be two years before the courts settled the border dispute resulting in a new county line. At the western end, the altered county line begins near the Peach County intersect and moves southeast to just north of Vinsons Lake where it cuts deep into Houston County before continuing east where it meets up with the original county line northeast of the intersection of Waterford Way and Sullivan Road. The border changes did not result in any structures from Houston County being annexed into Bibb County but over 234 acres of wooded lands changed hands.
