Welcome to the Pickens County Assessors Office
Did you know?
Pickens County was created in 1853 from parts of Cherokee and Gilmer counties. Georgia's 100th county was named for
General Andrew Pickens, a Revolutionary War soldier.
A railroad line built in 1883 from Atlanta, through the valleys and mountain passes of Pickens County to Tate and Nelson,
made possible the development of large marble quarries. One of the largest marble veins in the world is in Pickens County,
running at least four miles long. It is a half-mile deep and almost that wide in places. Over 60 percent of the monuments in
Washington, D.C. are made from Pickens County marble.
The Old Federal Road, the earliest vehicular route through northwest Georgia, crossed northern Pickens County at Talking
Rock Creek.
Several special events take place in Pickens County. Two of the biggest festivals are held in October: the Marble Festival and
Heritage Days Festival in Talking Rock.
