The textile industry is a major draw and employer for both counties; and they include Mohawk, Shaw and Beaulieu.
The area is rich in history and diversity, with a wealth of Civil War sites and deep Cherokee Indian roots as well. Railroads played a major role in the area’s development, and among other historical footnotes, the district is known for it’s role in the Great Locomotive Chase of Civil War fame, as well as the starting point for Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. Conasauga has a long Scouting history as well, with the first troop in Dalton being organized in 1911.
