    Note: St. Stephens, Alabama (the district east of the Pearl River) was the first opened land office district (26 December 1806–17), and it was also the first closed. The district was located in what is now Washington County, Alabama. Transactions covered those for the southeastern district, including land Georgia ceded to the federal government in 1798 and 1802 Yazoo lands. Augusta became the land office serving the area.
