Sutalee, Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sutalee is located in western Cherokee County, Georgia, about three miles northwest of Lake Allatoona. It is believed that former Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator Joseph E. Brown maintained a farm in the area, on lowlands near the Etowah River (now Lake Allatoona), and was there harvesting wheat when told of the surprising news that he had been nominated for governor. The community derives its name from an old Cherokee Indian village that was located near the Etowah River named "Sutali" -- the Cherokee word for the number six. Sixes, a community that sits on the eastern side of current-day Lake Allatoona, also derives its name from this Native American village.
