Woodstock, Georgia | Communities and Homes for Sale
Woodstock is over one hundred years old and one of the county's oldest towns. The railroad came to
Woodstock in November 1879. The City had a population of 300 and comprised a total of 960 acres. The first
gristmills in the county were located nearby. Wood carving, yarn spinning and other related activities were
also done. The abundance of water power around Woodstock, such as Little River, Noonday Creek, and other
streams, facilitated these industries. Woodstock had a considerable activity in mineral development. The old
Kellogg Gold Mine and several others are within a few miles of Woodstock. Mica and kaolin were also found in
nearby areas.
By the 1890s Woodstock was said to be shipping 2,000 bales of cotton annually. A number of
Woodstock developers were influential in introducing innovative farming methods to the county. There are many
different stories of how Woodstock got its name. One possibility is that it derived from a novel of the same
name by Sir Walter Scott. There is also one tale that a man named Mr. Woodstock settled in the area and
started a school, thus giving the community its name.
Today, the City of Woodstock is the fastest growing city in Cherokee County. With the growth rate of
Woodstock at 70% over the past 10 years, the city has doubled in size. With Interstate 575 and
State Highway 92 running diagonally and directly through the heart of Woodstock, there are unlimited
possibilities for those who live and work in Woodstock and Cherokee County.
