Forsyth County is located in the northern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Established on December 3, 1832, it was named after John Forsyth, a former U.S. congressman, senator, and governor of Georgia. The county's history is marked by the Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native Americans, primarily the Cherokee people, from their ancestral lands to present-day Oklahoma. Forsyth County was their home prior to this displacement.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Forsyth County was known for its agriculture, especially its cotton production. However, the cotton industry faced a setback due to the boll weevil infestation in the early 20th century. As the agriculture industry changed over time, the county shifted its focus towards urban development and an increase in business and industrial opportunities. Following World War II, various infrastructural developments, such as the construction of Lake Lanier and Georgia 400, started a trend toward suburban growth in Forsyth County.
Today, Forsyth County is a thriving suburban area, known for its excellent schools, high quality of life, and solid growth. The population of the county has seen a drastic increase over the past few decades, making it one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States.
