Springer Mountain, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Fannin and Gilmer Counties of northern Georgia. It is now the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. ==Name== The origin of the name of Springer Mountain is unknown, though the mountain has been called Springer since at least 1910. The most likely possibility is that it was named in honor of William G. Springer, an early settler appointed in 1833 by Governor Lumpkin to implement legislation to improve conditions for the Indians. There is a chance that Springer was named for the first Presbyterian minister to be ordained in Georgia—John Springer—who was ordained in 1790. As late as 1959, some residents of Gilmer County were still calling the peak Penitentiary Mountain. According to the Gilmer County Historical Society, the name was officially changed by the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club (GATC). Nobody seems to know why it was called Penitentiary—the origin of the name having been lost over time.〔http://www.planetanimals.com/logue/Springer.html〕 There is no known Cherokee name for the mountain.
