East Ellijay

Few cities in north Georgia have a history as closely tied to late-20th-century roadside commerce as East Ellijay. Incorporated in 1986, it developed beside the busy routes that cross Gilmer County, functioning as the practical retail and lodging counterpart to neighboring Ellijay. The city lies in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Coosawattee River and the confluence of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers. Apple orchards are central to the county’s agricultural identity, while the annual Georgia Apple Festival is held in the Ellijay area each autumn.
