Habersham County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 43,041.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13137.html )〕 The county seat is Clarkesville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The county was created on December 15, 1818, and named for Colonel Joseph Habersham. Habersham County comprises the Cornelia, GA Micropolitan Statistical Area. ==Geography== According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which is land and (0.8%) is water. The county includes part of Chattahoochee National Forest. The highest point in the county is a knob less than southeast of the top of Tray Mountain, the seventh-highest mountain in Georgia. Habersham shares this portion of Tray Mountain, just 30 vertical feet shy of the peak's 4,430-foot summit, with White County to the west and Towns County to the north. 2.4 miles to the northeast of Tray Mountain is Young Lick (elevation ). The Appalachian Trail runs along the top of the high ridge between Young Lick and Tray, a part of the Blue Ridge Mountain crest. Habersham is mostly located in the Upper Chattahoochee River sub-basin of the ACF River Basin (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin), with the northeastern corner of the county located in the Tugaloo River sub-basin in the larger Savannah River basin, and the southeastern portion located in the Broad River sub-basin of the same Savannah River basin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission Interactive Mapping Experience )〕 The Chattahoochee River rises in what used to be Habersham county, as portrayed in Sidney Lanier's poem "Song of the Chattahoochee": :Out of the hills of Habersham, :Down the valleys of Hall, :I hurry amain to reach the plain, :Run the rapid and leap the fall, :Split at the rock and together again. The county, originally comprising much of Northeast Georgia, was cut up dramatically in the latter half of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th Century. In 1857, its most western part was added to Lumpkin County, which had been created in 1832. That same year, the area east of Lumpkin and west of present-day Habersham became White County. In 1859, Banks County was carved from Habersham's southern-most territory. Finally, in 1905, Stephens County was formed from parts of Habersham and Banks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habersham County, Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
