A Cherokee Indian stockade with a blockhouse on a hill stood here, built by the U.S. Government in 1836. Capt. Samuel Fariss and a company of Georgia volunteers guarded Cherokee Indians here before their removal to the west. The fort was presumably named for Rev. David B. Cumming, a Methodist minister and missionary to the Cherokees.
