Pickens County. Pickens County , located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains in north central Georgia, was formally created on December 5, 1853, from Gilmer and Cherokee counties. The county was named for Andrew Pickens, a South Carolinian who served as a general during the American Revolution (1775-83).
He later became a notary public and led the formation of Pickens and nearby Helvetia and Florence. He brought the first steam sawmill into the county in 1873 and assisted Senator J.N. Camden in starting up the Pickens Lumber Company and extending the Pickens & Hacker Valley Railroad into town in 1892. 2.
