Metter, the county seat of Candler County, originally incorporated in Bulloch County on August 17, 1903. Later, the state legislature redrew the county boundaries, and Metter joined Candler County. Metter's beginning, like those of many other small cities in Georgia, depended on the railroad. The city grew up solely as a rail stop. In fact, as legend has it, the city's name honors a railroad official's wife.
