TRUTH !!
Georgia's state legislature passed the "Vidalia Onion Act of 1986" which
authorized a trademark for "Vidalia Onions" and limits the production area
to the following counties of Georgia that have or any subset as defined by
the state's Commissioner of Agriculture. The current definition includes:
The following thirteen counties: Emanuel, Candler, Treutlen, Bulloch,
Wheeler, Montgomery, Evans, Tattnall, Toombs, Telfair, Jeff Davis, Appling,
and Bacon.
Portions of the following seven counties: Jenkins, Screven, Laurens, Dodge,
Pierce, Wayne, and Long.

Since Georgia statutes have no legally-binding effect outside Georgia,
producers and handlers meeting the standards defined by Georgia law
requested, and the United States Department of Agriculture promulgated, a
Federal Marketing Order which defined the production area as a matter of
United States federal law.
