Macon-Bibb County

MACON-BIBB COUNTY

Origin/meaning

Introduced in 2014.

The consolidation of Bibb County and Macon. Ga. demanded a new seal.

In addition to the new entity’s name, the seal included the years 1822 - when the city of Macon was founded, 1823 - when Bibb County was founded and 2014 - when the governments consolidated.

A tagline that joins the two entities - “forward together,” also became a part of the seal.

Fort Hawkins serves as the seal’s centerpiece. The fort was built starting in 1806 and used until 1824, and it spurred the development of a trading settlement that became Macon.
