Welcome to the web site for Pickens County, Georgia. We're in North Georgia at the beginning of the Appalachian Mountains, sitting on top of the largest block of crystaline marble in the world. But that's not all...

Pickens County was in the center of the Cherokee Nation at one time, and the site of the first treaty between the United States and Native Americans - the Treaty of Long Swamp. The infamous Trail of Tears started at Fort Newnan near Talking Rock. The majority of our country's national monuments were carved from the marble mined near Tate. And some of the roots of modern stock car racing are planted in the moonshine hollows of our mountains. So besides the natural beauty of our world, a lot's happened here.

As for the web site itself, the Pickens menu has general information about our county, the people who live here, and our history. This is the official site for the Pickens County government, described in detail in the government menu selections: Administration, Legal System, County Finances, and County Services. The County Information menu item catalogues our county's governmental services and activities. It's where to look for the "how to's" - how to get things done. Finally, in the Community menu, there's a lot of information about our community at large. So whether you're a newcomer to Pickens County trying to figure out how to navigate in your new world, a long time resident looking to see what's going on around the county, or a visitor just looking us over, we hope you'll find what you're seeking somewhere in these pages.
