by · Published · Updated

Louisville, the county seat of Jefferson County, was incorporated 1786. The city was named in honor of King Louis XVI of France, because of the support given by France to the Colonials in the Revolution.

The Jefferson County courthouse, built in 1904, stands on the site of Georgia’s first permanent capitol, constructed in 1795. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Louisville was the site of the Constitutional Convention of 1798 in which the state’s pre-Civil War constitution was adopted.

Louisville was Georgia’s third state capital, but its first “permanent” capital. The city’s layout is similar to that of Philadelphia, in terms of the grid plans of streets and squares. The Old Market House, the county’s major tourist attraction, dates to the 1790s and served as the commercial center for the region during the time that the state capital was in Louisville.

Located near Louisville is the Revolutionary Cemetery, the location of thirty gravesites of notable Revolutionary War soldiers and a U.S. Congressman.
