Cherokee County, GA

Cherokee County, Georgia was formed in 1831 from the lands of the Cherokee Nation, making it one of the last Georgia counties established before the forced removal of the Cherokee people in 1838. The county was named for the Cherokee Nation itself, and Canton, the county seat, was named for Canton, China, because early settlers harbored ambitious hopes of developing a silk industry in the Georgia foothills. The Cherokee Phoenix, the first Native American newspaper in the United States, was published nearby at New Echota before the 1838 removal, and the Etowah River, which runs through the county, was a center of Cherokee civilization for centuries before European settlement. The earliest Anglo-American settlers who arrived after the Cherokee removal brought with them the Capped Bust and Seated Liberty silver coins, early Liberty Head gold pieces, and the obsolete banknotes of the Bank of the State of Georgia and the Cherokee County banks that still surface in estate sales today.

Canton became a significant textile center in the late 19th century. The Canton Cotton Mills, established in the 1890s, brought industrial wages and a cash economy to a county that had previously been dominated by subsistence farming and small-scale gold mining in the Etowah River watershed. The mill workers and the farming families who supplied them saved pre-1933 gold coins and pre-1964 silver coins in patterns that reflected both the cash wages of the mill economy and the deep North Georgia tradition of keeping hard money outside the banking system. The Cherokee County National Bank, chartered in the early 1900s, issued national bank notes that are actively collected today by currency specialists, and the bank's notes surface regularly in Cherokee County estate sales alongside the Liberty Head and Saint-Gaudens gold coins accumulated during the prosperous 1920s.

The mid-20th century brought significant change to Cherokee County. The construction of I-575 in the 1970s and 1980s connected Canton directly to Atlanta, and the county began its transformation from a rural textile and farming community into one of the fastest-growing suburban counties in the United States. The old farming families who had accumulated coins and currency over generations found themselves sitting on land that was suddenly valuable to Atlanta developers, and the estate collections that surface in Cherokee County today reflect that layered history: antebellum Bust and Seated Liberty silver from the Cherokee-era settlement period, national bank notes from the Canton banks, pre-1933 gold coins from the textile era, and pre-1964 silver coins saved through the farming and early suburban periods.

Today, Cherokee County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Georgia and in the United States, with a population that has more than doubled since 2000. The county's rapid growth has brought both old farming family estates and newer affluent resident collections into the market simultaneously, creating a steady flow of significant numismatic material.
