Grady County at a glance: towns and land
Cairo is the county seat, and other towns on the map include Whigham. The county was organized in 1905 and named for Henry W. Grady, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. The Census Bureau puts Grady County at about 454 square miles of land and an estimated 26,066 people (2023). The Grady County map is a blend: tidy subdivision plats around Calvary, then bigger rural parcels on the way to Whigham. Along the Apalachee Bay, expect long, irregular tracts whose lines follow the water rather than a road. The landscape includes the Red Hills Region, and terrain like that drives where roads, homesites and timber tracts end up.
