Milledgeville is a city in and the county seat of Baldwin County, Georgia, United States. Founded in 1803 along the Oconee River, it served as the state capital of Georgia from 1804 to 1868, including during the American Civil War. The city's layout—modeled after the grid plans of Savannah, Georgia, and Washington, D.C.—reflects Milledgeville's intended role as a seat of government. During its years as the capital, Milledgeville quickly became a hub of political activity and cotton-based commerce before facing significant economic changes after the capital was relocated to Atlanta in 1868.
