Towns County, Georgia
Towns County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,471.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/13/13281.html )〕 Its county seat is Hiawassee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The county was created on March 6, 1856 and named for United States lawyer, legislator, and politician George W. Towns.
==Geography==
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which is land and (3.2%) is water. Towns is mostly in the Hiwassee River sub-basin of the Middle Tennesee-Hiwassee basin, with a part of the county in the Tugaloo River sub-basin in the larger Savannah River basin, as well as a small portion of the county's southwestern corner in the Chattahoochee River sub-basin of the ACF River Basin (Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission Interactive Mapping Experience )〕 near the source of the Chattahoochee in neighboring Union County.
Towns County is located amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains, (part of the Appalachian Mountains), some of which are protected by the Chattahoochee National Forest. Brasstown Bald, the highest mountain in Georgia, rises in southwest Towns County, straddling the Union County line. The source of the Hiwassee River is located in eastern Towns County, from which it flows northward into North Carolina. Chatuge Lake, an artificial reservoir created by the completion of Chatuge Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1940s, dominates the northeastern section of Towns County. State Route 515 from north of Atlanta ends here at the North Carolina state line near Young Harris.
An important facet of early life in Towns County was a road built upon a Cherokee trading path running north to south through the county and passing through Unicoi Gap. It served as a line between settlers and the Cherokees until after the Indian cessions, when it fell solely into the hands of the whites. When the Cherokees were expelled from their villages, they were forced into "removal forts," one of which was located in what is now Hiawassee, the county seat.
