PICKENS COUNTY (GEORGIA)
State : Georgia
Origin/meaning
Pickens County, Ga. formed from parts of Cherokee and Gilmer counties in 1853 to become the state’s 100th county, but later lost portions to back to Cherokee County, plus Dawson and Gordon counties.
Consolidation of local marble quarries formed the Georgia Marble Company in the 1880s brought prosperity to the county.
The county seal depicts a crane carrying marble out of a quarry. Every fall, the county plays host to the Georgia Marble Festival.
