Lumpkin County, County in northeastern Georgia, United States
Lumpkin County extends across 736 square kilometers of terrain in the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring both forest areas and water resources.
The discovery of gold deposits near Dahlonega in 1828 initiated the first major gold rush in the United States, preceding California's gold discoveries.
The North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega contributes to the educational landscape and shapes the local community development.
The county maintains multiple recreational spaces within the Chattahoochee National Forest, providing opportunities for hiking, camping, and outdoor activities.
The gold extracted from Lumpkin County mines during the 1800s covers the dome of the Georgia State Capitol building in Atlanta.
