Lumpkin County Lumpkin County, Georgia, named after Georgia Governor Wilson Lumpkin, was created in 1832 from Cherokee, Hall and Habersham Counties.  The largest portion of Lumpkin County, lying west of the Chestatee River, had formerly been part of the Cherokee Nation.  In 1828, the discovery of gold on the lands that subsequently became Lumpkin County resulted in the first U.S. gold rush.  The Cherokee Nation was quickly overrun by white intruders seeking the precious metal, and the mining towns of Auraria and Dahlonega were quickly established.  In 1832, the State of Georgia appropriated the Cherokee Lands lying within it's borders and created the original Cherokee County, which comprised most of NW Georgia.  Later that year, several counties were created, including Lumpkin County, from the original Cherokee County.  By 1840, part of Lumpkin County was transferred to Union County.  In 1857, a portion of Lumpkin County was cut off for the creation of Dawson County.  Dahlonega, famous for it's U.S. Gold Mint, became the county seat in 1833.  Dahlonega is proud to be the home of the University of North Georgia, Dahlonega Campus.
