Cornelia

Few cities in northeast Georgia have a history as closely tied to the railroad and apple trade as Cornelia. Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the town grew after the railroad arrived in the late 19th century and became a center for Habersham County’s apple growers. Its best-known landmark is the Big Red Apple, a monument erected in 1925 by local growers near the former railway depot. Downtown Cornelia retains a compact main-street character, while the surrounding countryside leads toward Georgia’s mountain country.
