Troup Artillery was originally the National Artillery in Clarke County, Georgia. It was organized in 1858.The unit changed it's name on January 2, 1861 in honor of Georgia's governor George M.Troup.This unit was attached to the 2nd Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry for a month but later became part of Cobb's Legion, then Cabell's Artillery Battalion.
