As of the 2010 census, the population was 21,875.[1] The county seat is Thomson.[2] The county was created on October 18, 1870[3] and named after the South Carolina governor and senator George McDuffie.[4] McDuffie County is part of the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryMost communities located in the county were founded before the county was created. Some have faded into obscurity. The Historic Wrightsborough Foundation preserves the memory of the early settlement of Wrightborough, which was occupied 1768 to 1920.[5] GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|266|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|257|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|8.9|sqmi}} (3.4%) is water.[6] Most of the southern half of McDuffie County, south of Thomson, is located in the Brier Creek sub-basin of the Savannah River basin, except for a slice of the eastern portion of the county, north of Dearing and along a north-south line running through Boneville, which is located in the Middle Savannah River sub-basin of the Savannah River basin. The northern half of McDuffie County, north of Thomson, is located in the Little River sub-basin of the same Savannah River basin.[7] Major highways{{div col|colwidth=22em}}

PoliticsTypical of many counties in Georgia & the Solid South, McDuffie County almost exclusively backed candidates of the Democratic Party in presidential elections by wide margins prior to 1964. The exceptions to this were 1928, when Herbert Hoover won the county by 9 points, & 1960, where John F. Kennedy only won by 40 votes, both thanks to anti-Catholic sentiment. The county swung hard to support Barry Goldwater in 1964 thanks to opposition towards the Civil Rights Act, & was won by George Wallace in 1968 for similar reasons. Since then, the only times the county has failed to back a Republican candidate for president since then have been in 1976 & 1980, when Georgian Jimmy Carter was on the ticket. However, its sizeable African-American population has kept the Republican margins of victory lower than in many other rural counties in the state. {{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential elections results }}
