Living in Canton

The City of Canton has a rich heritage. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the site where Canton would be founded lay in the heart of the Cherokee Nation.

During the first hundred years of Georgia history, Northwest Georgia was generally considered Indian Country, and was bypassed by settlers going West. Georgia had made a treaty with the Federal Government in 1802 to relinquish its Western Territory for the removal of all Indians within its boundaries, and, although other tribes had been removed, little was ever done about the Cherokees. Since this was the heartland of the Cherokee Nation, the state and nation had avoided the handling of this delicate problem. Following the discovery of gold near Dahlonega in 1829, settlers ignored the Indian problems and began to move into the area north of Carrollton and west of the Chattahoochee River-sixty-nine hundred miles-and named it Cherokee. Many members of the Cherokee Nation moved west, but the majority stayed until removed by Federal Troops. By autumn of 1838, the federal troops had accomplished their mission and the Cherokees at Fort Buffington were marched off to join other groups on the infamous Trail of Tears.

The founders of Canton attempted to establish silk production but failed; however, the city is named after the city in China. Over the years, Canton evolved from unsettled territory to a prosperous mill town known the world over for its Canton Denim. The City of Canton remains the county seat for Cherokee County and is located 39 miles north of Atlanta.
