Fort Oglethorpe

Fort Oglethorpe occupies a low valley in northwest Georgia’s Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, close to the Tennessee border. The city stands beside Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, where the Battle of Chickamauga was fought in 1863 during the American Civil War. Its name recalls the former U.S. Army post of Fort Oglethorpe, which operated here for much of the 20th century. Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee River lie nearby around Chattanooga, placing this small Georgia community in a wider Appalachian setting.
