1935 ... Pickens County's economic picture includes the industrial and commercial activities  
 carried on in her three (3) incorporated towns -- Jasper, Talking Rock, and Nelson -- and two 
 towns that are incorporated -- Tate and Marble Hill. In the last three last-named places are 
 centered the activities of The Georgia Marble Company, one of the State's leading industrial
 concerns; and all five towns, while comparatively small, are favorably located to serve 
 prosperous farming sections. "History of Pickens County by Luke E. Tate -- 1935"
