Bartow County Government Welcome to the official page of Bartow County Government. Bartow County is located approximately 45 miles north of Atlanta. Please enjoy!

Its natural beauty, historical treasures and abundance of opportunities provide the perfect place to live, work, relax and play. Bartow County, established in 1832 as "Cass County" to honor General Lewis Cass of Michigan, renamed when that general supported abolitionists during the Civil War and so proved an embarrassment to the Confederate populace. In 1861, residents decided to recognize instead General Francis S. Bartow who led victorious Southern forces at the First Battle of Manassas. When yet another general, William Tecumsah Sherman, destroyed Cassville, the first county seat, residents selected a point a few miles south on the railroad, Cartersville, as the new county seat. Today, Bartow County has a population of 120,000 and a land area of 470 square miles. Within our border we provide services to our residents ranging from Animal Control to Transportation and more in-between. We hope that this page can provide information to citizens and non-citizens alike.
