A Brief History of Catoosa County: Up Into the Hills

Catoosa County s rich history touches upon many of the
defining events and social changes of America s past. As settlers expanded westward, Georgia forcibly removed Native Americans from the boundaries of what would eventually form Catoosa, a Cherokee name that the settlers adopted as their own. As the site of the second most costly battle in the Civil War, Chickamauga set the stage for much that followed
in Catoosa s history, from the end of a three-thousand-year-old mode of warfare to the beginnings of women s service in the military. Though nearly one million people visit Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park each year seeking to understand and connect to the Civil War struggle, many remain unaware of the larger part Catoosa played in the unfolding drama of America. Join local historian Jeff O Bryant as he brings this valuable heritage to light."
