Lumpkin County – Cities, History and Facts
Lumpkin County was created in 1832 from three existing counties and was named for Wilson Lumpkin who was a former governor of Georgia. It is a little known fact that Lumpkin’s daughter, named Martha Lumpkin Compton, was the inspiration for Atlanta, Georgia’s previous name of Marthasville. Her middle name, Atalanta, has also been claimed to be the reason Marthasville was named Atlanta. That may or may not be true, but it makes for fascinating reading.
The Cherokee Indians flourished here until gold was discovered; they were eventually removed on The Trail of Tears.
