Stephens County was formed in 1905 from parts of Habersham and Franklin Counties as Georgia's 143rd county. Toccoa was designated the county seat in the legislation creating Stephens County.
Stephens County's first courthouse was completed in 1908 and is still in use, but a new courthouse opened in May 2000 across the street from the first.

Constructed in the Classical Revival style, the two-story brick building features a clock tower.
