Located in the northwestern portion of the State, Gordon County was created in 1850 from Cass (later renamed Bartow County) and Floyd Counties. Prior to its creation, these lands were part of the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery. A long out-of-print book filled with stories about the people who made Gordon County, their businesses and many little-known facts about this county and its people. It is truly a refreshing history covering the period from 1857-1957.

Read of Calhoun's many influences on transportation, in wartime, and in the commerce of the South. Calhoun, the seat of Gordon County, is situated in the rolling Ridge and Valley geologic region of northwest Georgia. The long valley formed a natural migration pattern that influenced the area's settlement and is a strong economic factor today. Transportation arteries, from rivers to railroads to highways, remain a critical part of the city's development. The Cherokee Indians began the infamous Trail of Tears march near Calhoun. Later, Gen. William T. Sherman almost destroyed the village as he led his troops to the Battle of Atlanta. The region's cotton farmers supplied the early tufted-textile industry that evolved into enormous carpet and floor-covering businesses.
