Cumming, County seat in northern Georgia, United States.
Cumming is a city in Forsyth County in northern Georgia serving as the county government center. The community features residential areas interspersed with open green spaces and tree-covered slopes, with a modest downtown core containing shops and administrative buildings.
The city was founded in 1834 following a land distribution program in Georgia that made parcels available for settlement in the area. This beginning as an administrative center has shaped its role ever since.
The Cumming Country Fair brings together local craftsmen, farmers, and performers to showcase the traditions of northern Georgia.
Visitors can easily reach Mary Alice Park, which provides direct access to Lake Lanier with boat launches and water recreation facilities. The proximity to the lake makes the area well-suited for water-based activities.
The University of North Georgia operates a campus within the city offering specialized healthcare programs. This academic presence adds another character to the place beyond its role as a government center.
