The city of Savannah, Georgia was the first planned city in America. It was laid out in a grid pattern with squares for public use, and this design was later copied by other cities throughout the country.
Catoosa County, located in the northwestern part of Georgia, has a rich and diverse history dating back thousands of years. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Creek, and Shawnee. European settlers began arriving in the 19th century, leading to the displacement and eventual removal of many of these tribes.

The county was officially established on December 5, 1853, and was named after the Cherokee word for "people of the spirit." In its early years, Catoosa County was primarily an agricultural community, with farmers cultivating crops such as corn, cotton, and tobacco. The presence of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in the late 19th century brought economic growth and prosperity to the area.

During the American Civil War, Catoosa County saw significant military action, as it was located on the main route between Chattanooga and Atlanta. The Battle of Ringgold Gap, fought in 1863, was a pivotal moment in the Civil War and resulted in Confederate victory. The county also served as a supply hub for the Confederate Army and witnessed several skirmishes and confrontations.

In the 20th century, Catoosa County experienced significant industrial development. The arrival of major industries brought jobs and growth to the region, and the county became known for manufacturing, particularly in the carpet and textile industries. Today, Catoosa County has evolved into a thriving community with a strong economy, picturesque natural landscapes, and a rich historical heritage that continues to be celebrated and preserved.
