Blue Ridge, Georgia: Gateway to the Mountains
Local Calendar of Events
Discover the matchless beauty, warm hospitality and rich heritage
of our friendly mountain community.
In 1886, the Marietta and Northern Railroad came to Fannin County, and in 1887, the town
of Blue Ridge, Georgia was born.  As a result of the railroad, the town flourished.  The golden
age of railroads is long past, but thanks to the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, you and your
children can still ride the same spectacular route beside the Toccoa River where stream
engines rumbled over a hundred years ago.
Welcome to Historic Blue Ridge, Georgia - a place you won't want to leave.
