The History of Cherokee County / Marlin
One of the most well-known accounts of the early days of Cherokee
County is "The History of Cherokee County" published in 1932
by Rev. Lloyd G. Marlin, who was Cherokee County Historian and
Superintendent of Holly Spring, GA Schools. This historial work
starts with geography and topography, describes the County as
it was Cherokee Nation, discusses county line evolution and early
pioneer settlement, chronicles the County involvement in the
Civil War and Reconstruction, and takes the reader well into
the early years of the 20th century with family accounts of the
early settlers. It has been reprinted by the Society and purchase
information may be found here on the
website. Visit our Archives to
