A Little Gilmer County History

Gilmer County was created in 1832 from Cherokee County lands and named for Georgia governor George Gilmer. Ellijay, the county seat, grew where the Cartecay and Ellijay rivers meet to form the Coosawattee, and the area is known today as the Apple Capital of Georgia. Rolling orchards give way to steep mountain ground on every side, and that terrain is what we have been grading for decades.

We focus on bigger jobs in Gilmer County:
