The city was named after Gen. William Moultrie, the Revolutionary War hero after whom Fort Moultrie was named following the successful defense of Charleston, South Carolina, against the British under Peter Parker, an anniversary subsequently celebrated as Carolina Day.
Colquitt County became the 115th county in Georgia by an act of the Legislature on February 25, 1856. It was named after Walter Terry Colquitt, a minister, slave owner, statesman, and lawyer who was a military leader in the mid-1800s. In 1879, a charter was adopted, and 50 acres (0.20 km2) in the center of the county was declared the county seat.
The founders of naval stores started harvesting timber in the late 1890s. They set up turpentine stills and built tram roads, allowing for the railroad to come into the territory. The Boston & Albany line, which later became the Georgia Northern Railway, was the first through town, bringing with it growth and prosperity for the county. Practically every train brought new residents interested in supplying naval stores or working in the sawmills.
Land was cleared, and development companies began dividing the forested area into farm tracts. Experienced farmers from north Georgia and the Carolinas were invited to come and develop the land. The county's agriculture industry thrives today.
The official flag of Moultrie is a rendition of the Moultrie Flag designed by the city's namesake, William Moultrie, during the American Revolutionary War; adopted by resolution of the mayor and council, it consists of a blue field measuring 3 by 5 feet with a white crescent in the upper hoist corner inscribed with the word "Liberty", with an identical design on both sides.
