As of the 2010 census, the population was 9,429.[1] The county seat is Sparta.[2] The county was created on December 17, 1793 and named for John Hancock.[3][4] Hancock County is included in the Milledgeville, Georgia Micropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryBefore the Civil War, Hancock County's economy was based on growing cotton, and labor was done by slaves. This area is classified as part of the Black Belt of the United States, due to its fertile soil and association with the slave society. Slaves made up 61% of the total county population in the 1850 Census.[5] Unusually for such a plantation-dominated society, the county's representatives at the Georgia Secession Convention, overwhelmingly white and Democratic, voted against secession in 1861.[6] The secession conventions were dominated by men who voted for separation, and Georgia soon seceded and entered the war. Race relationsAccording to the 2010 census[7] estimate, the racial makeup of the county seat of Sparta was 84% African American, 15% White, 0.50% from two or more races, 0.30% Asian, and 0.10% Native American. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.70% of the population. Most African Americans support the Democratic Party and whites support the Republican Party. In August 2015, the majority-white Hancock County Board of Elections initiated an effort to purge African-American voters from the rolls. They directed deputy sheriffs to the homes of more than 180 African Americans residing in the county seat of Sparta (these constituted some 20% of the city's total registered voters) to inform them they would lose their voting rights unless they appeared in court to prove their residency. A total of 53 voters were removed the voting rolls, but a federal judge overturned the Board's actions.[8] GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|479|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|472|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|6.8|sqmi}} (1.4%) is water.[9] The western portion of Hancock County, which is defined by a line running southeast from White Plains to the intersection of State Route 22 and Springfield Road, then running southwest along State Route 22, is located in the Upper Oconee River sub-basin of the Altamaha River basin. The southern portion of the county, defined by a triangle made of State Route 22 and State Route 15, with Sparta at its apex, is located in the Lower Oconee River sub-basin of the same Altamaha River basin. The northeastern portion of Hancock County is located in the Upper Ogeechee River sub-basin of the Ogeechee River basin.[10] Major highwaysNo Interstate Highway

PoliticsHancock County has arguably been the most consistent Democratic county in the entire nation since the Civil War. It has voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in every election since 1852 except that of 1972, when George McGovern lost every county in Georgia – and even then it was easily McGovern's best county in the state and he lost by only 93 votes. Apart from Richard Nixon in that election, Barry Goldwater is the only Republican since at least 1912 to reach 30 percent of the county's vote,[21] and Goldwater did so when the enfranchisement of the county's African-American majority was highly incomplete and the white minority's traditional Democratic loyalties were being broken. In 1980 it was Georgia "favorite son" Jimmy Carter's second best county in the nation,[22] whilst in 1984 Walter Mondale, who went within 3,819 votes of losing all fifty states, won over 76.6 percent of Hancock County ballots to make it his fourth-best county outside the District of Columbia.[23] {{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential elections results }}
