Cherokee County
Cherokee County, nestled
at the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains, has the highest mountains and most undeveloped land in metro
Atlanta. It is approximately 25 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta and offers pristine woodlands, beautiful
lakes and convenient access to metropolitan Atlanta. Cherokee County's strong business economy ("15th
nationally in potential business growth" - American Business Chronicle) makes this an ideal location for
companies desiring to combine sound business investment with excellent accessibility and quality work and living
environments.
The communities making up Cherokee County are:
Woodstock, Cherokee County's fastest growing community. Significant commercial and residential real
estate development has taken place in recent years; Canton, the county seat; Ball Ground, a quiet and peaceful
community of 700+ residents; and Waleska, a delightful hamlet taking pride in its small town charm and home of
Reinhardt College.
