History*

Gordon County was created in 1850 from parts of Floyd and Bartow Counties. The 93rd county formed in the state was named after William Washington Gordon, president of what was then the Central Railroad and Banking Company and later became the Central of Georgia Railroad.

Gordon County has numerous outdoor recreation opportunities. In addition to the Chattahoochee National Forest, the Coosawattee and Conasauga rivers join to form the Oostanaula River. There is also the Salacoa Creek Park, a 343-acre park with a 126-acre lake.
