History

The city’s name derives from the Oconee people (also known as the Hitchiti), a Muskogean-speaking tribe who inhabited central Georgia at time of contact with European-American settlers. The Oconee lived in present-day Baldwin County, Georgia at a settlement known as Oconee Old Town, later moving to the Chattahoochee River in the early 18th century. The name exists in several variations, including Ocone, Oconi, Ocony, and Ekwoni.

The city of Oconee was named after the river that bears the tribe’s name. It was founded in the early 1840s, when the railroad was extended to that point.

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Oconee as a town in 1876.
