Blairsville

Few communities in Georgia have a history as closely tied to the 1832 Georgia land lottery as Blairsville. Established as the seat of Union County in the 1830s, the town developed in territory opened to settlers after Cherokee land was divided through that lottery. Blairsville sits in the Blue Ridge Mountains, while the Nottely River and Lake Nottely shape the wider county landscape. The 1899 Union County Courthouse anchors the town square, and the annual Blairsville Sorghum Festival celebrates a long-standing regional cane-syrup tradition.
