Varnell

Few communities in northwest Georgia have a history as closely tied to the Civil War’s Atlanta Campaign as Varnell. Fighting occurred near Varnell’s Station in May 1864, when Union and Confederate forces contested routes south from Chattanooga. This small Whitfield County city lies in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, with Rocky Face Ridge to the west and the Conasauga River crossing the surrounding lowlands. North of Dalton, Varnell remains part of a landscape of folded ridges and transport corridors that shaped the campaign.
