Living in Canton, GA

Home to approximately 24,000 people, the city of Canton serves as the seat of Cherokee County. The city, located in the foothills of the famed Blue Ridge Mountains, enjoys close proximity to the services and amenities that Atlanta offers. Its location on Interstate 575 also makes Canton easily accessible from other parts of the state, including the mountains of North Georgia.

Originally known as Etowah, the city’s founders named it after China’s silk production capital in hopes that it would help kick-start Canton’s own silk production industry. This business venture, however, failed. Despite this, Canton eventually managed to establish a reputation for its denim production in America’s textile industry. Today, Canton’s economy rests primarily on its strong farming industry.
