Mitchell County is named for General Henry Mitchell of Hancock County. General Mitchell was a great leader in the movement for independence during the Revolutionary War. Camilla serves as the county seat of Mitchell County and was named for General Mitchell's nineteen-year-old granddaughter.

Most of these crops are also processed here, giving employment to residents and profit to area businesses.
