The Chatahoochee National Forest takes its Name from the Chatahoochee River whose headwaters begin in the North Georgia mountains. The river and the area were given the name by the English settlers who took the name from the Indians
living there. At the time the Cherokee and Creek Indians inhabited the North Georgian area.
In one dialect of the Muskogean languages, “Chatta” means stone; “ho chee”, marked or flowered. These marked or flowered stones were in the Chattahoochee River at the settlement near Columbus, Georgia.
