As of the 2010 census, the population was 9,255.[1] The county seat is Abbeville.[2] History{{refimprove|date=December 2013}}It is unclear whether Wilcox County is named for General Mark Wilcox, a Georgia state legislator and one of the founders of the Georgia Supreme Court, or if it is named for his son John Wilcox. The formation of the county was led by Norman McDuffie of Pulaski County, Georgia. It was formed on December 22, 1857 from parts of Irwin, Pulaski, and Dooly counties. Settlers named the county seat as Abbeville, because many of them were from Abbeville, South Carolina. The first county courthouse was built in 1858; the present courthouse dates from 1903.[3] Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America spent his last night of freedom at the end of the Civil War in Wilcox County, before being captured by Union troops. His capture marked the end of the Confederacy. The county holds an annual marathon, called "Chasing Jefferson Davis," which is held on the Saturday in May closest to May 9, the date Davis left Abbeville with his personal guard en route to Irwin County. The marathon route starts in Abbeville and goes to the historic capture site near Irwinville in Irwin County, Georgia, closely following the route of Union troops. GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|382|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|378|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|4.4|sqmi}} (1.2%) is water.[4] The northern and eastern three-quarters of Wilcox County, from State Route 215 southeast to Rochelle, then due south, are located in the Lower Ocmulgee River sub-basin of the Altamaha River basin. The southwestern portion of the county, west of Rochelle, and roughly centered on Pitts, is located in the Alapaha River sub-basin of the Suwannee River basin.[5] Adjacent counties
