'''Cuthbert''' is a city in and the [[county seat]] of [[Randolph County, Georgia]], United States.<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |access-date=2011-06-07 |title=Find a County |publisher=National Association of Counties |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531210815/http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |archive-date=2011-05-31 }}</ref>  The population was 3,520 in 2019.

==History==
Cuthbert was founded by European Americans in 1831 as seat of the newly formed Randolph County, after [[Indian Removal]] of the historic tribes to [[Indian Territory]] west of the [[Mississippi River]]. [[John Alfred Cuthbert]], who represented Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1819 to 1821, is its namesake.<ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/c.pdf | title=Georgia Place-Names: Their History and Origins | publisher=Winship Press | author=Krakow, Kenneth K. | year=1975 | location=Macon, GA | pages=56 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ | title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States | publisher=Govt.

Cuthbert was incorporated as a town in 1834 and as a city in 1859, serving as the trading center for the area. The [[Central of Georgia Railway]] arrived in Cuthbert in the 1850s, stimulating trade and growth, and providing a means of getting cotton and other crops to market.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=REtEXQNWq6MC&pg=PA226 | title=Historical Gazetteer of the United States | publisher=Routledge | date=May 13, 2013 | access-date=30 November 2013 | author=Hellmann, Paul T. | pages=226| isbn=978-1135948597 }}</ref>

==Culture and historic district==
Cuthbert is home to [[Andrew College]] (formerly Andrew Female College), a two-year private liberal arts college. The [[Fletcher Henderson]] Museum is being established in Cuthbert in honor of the 20th-century jazz musician and orchestra arranger.

The city has notable sites such as a Confederate Army cemetery, historical houses built in the 1800s, and the Fletcher Henderson home. In 2007 an announcement was made of a museum to be dedicated to late resident [[Lena Baker]] and issues of racial justice. Baker was an African-American maid who was convicted of [[capital murder]] in 1945 in the death of a white man; she was the only woman in Georgia to be executed by electric chair. She had claimed self-defense, and in 2005 the state posthumously pardoned her.<ref>[http://www.bigbandlibrary.com/bigbandnewsjuly2007.html "Big Band News"], Big Band Library: July 2007</ref> She was the subject of a 2001 biography and a 2008 feature film of the same name, ''The Lena Baker Story.'' (It was later retitled ''Hope and Redemption: The Lena Baker Story.'')
