The Hawkins Line, sometimes called the Four Mile Purchase Line, was the boundary between Georgia and the Cherokee Nation from 1804 to 1818. It was established when Georgia bought a four mile strip from the Indians to include Wofford’s Settlement on Nancytown Creek. James Blair served as agent for the government, and James Vann and Ketahahee represented the Cherokees. It formed the boundary between Jackson County and the Cherokees, later Franklin County and the Cherokees, and is now the line between Habersham and Banks Counties.
