Dahlonega, GA 4K (DJI Mavic Pro Footage) Small Gold Town a hour North of Atlanta!! UNG Footage

Dahlonega , GA is a small city about a hour north of Atlanta, GA. Dahlonega is the county seat of Lumpkin County and has a little less than 7,000 residents.

Dahlonega was the site of the second discovery of gold in the state of Georgia. In 1828 - the second major gold rush took place in Dahlonega. The Dahlonega Gold Museum Historic site stands in the middle of the town square- housed in the Lumpkin County Courthouse that was built in 1836. Interesting thing to note - from the steps of the courthouse Dr. M.F. Stevenson ( Mint assayer) tried to persuade miners to stay in Dahlonega instead of joining the California Gold Rush. He told them " There's millions in it". It's misquoted today as " There's gold in thar hills."

The City was named "Talonega " by the Georgia assembly in 1833. The name was changed from Talonega to Dahlonega in 1837. Dahlonega is named by the Cherokee Indians which does not mean gold but simply means Yellow. Some think that it means Yellow Gold?
