- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Cleveland, Georgia. Cleveland, the seat of White County, is located seventy-five miles north of Atlanta in northeast Georgia. Known as the "Gateway to the Mountains," the city stands 1,570 feet above sea level. Originally called Mount Yonah when the area was still a part of Habersham County, Cleveland was in the center of the gold-mining territory. The town served as a crossroads that connected the rough roads and mountain trails leading east to Clarkesville, southwest to Dahlonega, south to Gainesville, and northeast to Nacoochee.
