United States, Georgia, Walker County, Chickamauga, 34.87119, -85.29079Huff, W. A. Kelly, 1956-2005-05-06Encyclopedia article about the town of Chickamauga, Georgia. Chickamauga, in Walker County, is historically significant for its importance to the Cherokee Nation and for the bloody Battle of Chickamauga that nearly changed the course of the Civil War (1861-65). The city was incorporated in 1891 and since the early 1900s has been a textile-mill town. Nestled near the foot of Lookout Mountain about ten miles below the Georgia-Tennessee state line, Chickamauga is also a bedroom community for Chattanooga, Tennessee, and a tourist attraction. In an effort to attract visitors, business owners agreed to a makeover of the town's facade in the early 1970s.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Cities and towns--GeorgiaChickamaugaText
