About Blairsville, GA

In 1835, the Georgia General Assembly designated Blairsville as the Union county seat. The town is named after Revolutionary War veteran James Blair. Although the neighboring city of Dahlonega was known as the first site of gold in the United States, the Blairsville area was known to have the purest gold in the mountains. Assayers in Washington, D.C. could tell by looking that gold ore was from the Coosa Mines because it was “the yellowest gold” submitted and its brilliant color set it apart.
