History

About 1/2 mile north of here, a Chickamauga village was destroyed by Evan Shelby's punitive expedition of 1779. Following his expulsion from Georgia, the wealthy Cherokee chief Joseph Vann built a homestead here with three racetracks, and a new village grew up around it. The settlement was abandoned during the Cherokee expulsion of 1838, and Vann's house stood until 1900.
