Calhoun

Jane Powers Weldon,James W. Lay,Dale Lowman

Calhoun, the seat of Gordon County, is situated in the rolling Ridge and Valley geologic region of northwest Georgia. The long valley formed a natural migration pattern that influenced the area’s settlement and is a strong economic factor today. Transportation arteries, from rivers to railroads to highways, remain a critical part of the city’s development. The Cherokee Indians began the infamous Trail of Tears march near Calhoun. Later, Gen. William T. Sherman almost destroyed the village as he led his troops to the Battle of Atlanta. The region’s cotton farmers supplied the early tufted-textile industry that evolved into enormous carpet and floor-covering businesses.
