Dade County, County administrative division in northwestern Georgia, US
Dade County spans 174 square miles of mountainous terrain, including segments of Lookout Mountain along its western and northern borders with Alabama and Tennessee.
The county, established in 1837, bears the name of Major Francis Langhorne Dade, who lost his life during the Second Seminole War in Florida.
The county maintains strong connections to its mining heritage through preserved sites and local museums that document the coal industry operations until the 1970s.
Residents access governmental services through the county website, which provides online payment systems, real estate searches, and emergency notifications via the Hyper Reach system.
Until 1939, vehicles could only enter Dade County through Alabama or Tennessee, earning it the nickname 'State of Dade' due to its geographical isolation.
