Dahlonega, Gold rush city in northern Georgia, United States.
Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dahlonega centers around a historic town square with brick buildings, shops, and restaurants.
In 1829, Dahlonega initiated the first major United States gold rush, leading to the establishment of a federal mint that operated until 1861.
The University of North Georgia, established in 1873, operates as one of six senior military colleges in the United States, training future officers.
The city provides access to multiple hiking trails, gold panning activities, wine tasting rooms, and local art galleries within walking distance of downtown.
The gold dome of the Price Memorial Hall contains gold extracted from local mines, marking the location of the former United States Branch Mint.
