Cherokee County, County division in northern Georgia, United States.

Cherokee County is an administrative division in northern Alabama with rivers, hills, and water reservoirs. The area features varied terrain that includes forested regions and open landscapes.

The county was established in 1831 and named after the Native Americans who lived in this region. Its creation took place during a period of major change for the people who had inhabited the land.

The county maintains its connection to Native American heritage through museums and historic sites that tell the story of the people who once lived here. Visitors can explore these places to learn about the region's original inhabitants.

County services are centered in the town of Canton, where the main government offices operate. Visitors can find parks, public facilities, and various amenities throughout the area.

The area is home to river systems that have been dammed to create large water bodies for recreation. These reservoirs now serve as important focal points for outdoor activities and water-based recreation.
