History edit
A post office called Tibet was established in 1900, and remained in operation until 1914.[3][4][5][6] Its population was estimated to be 15 in 1912.[7] Tibet existed on the map as late as 1915, when it was part of Liberty County.[8] As of July 1916, the community's closest access to banks and attorneys was in Darien,[9] and since Tibet's post office closed, mail was supplied from Ludowici to the northwest.[10][11] Tibet became part of the newly created Long County in 1920.
Tibet is located in Militia District 1544, which is also named Tibet.[12][13]
