Tate

Few communities in Georgia have a history as closely tied to marble quarrying as Tate. Set in Pickens County at the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this small community developed around the exceptionally white stone of the Georgia Marble Belt. The material gave Tate an industrial name far beyond north Georgia: Georgia marble was used for the seated Abraham Lincoln sculpture inside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Quarries and processing works have long shaped the local economy and identity, while the wooded Appalachian foothills create a setting distinct from metropolitan Atlanta.
