Flowery Branch, Georgia: Origin of the Name

Chartered in 1874, Flowery Branch in Hall County began as Anaguluskee—a Cherokee word meaning “flowers on the branch.” The railroad depot (circa 1900) remains a landmark; recently moved, it’s slated for restoration as a town center. Population grew from 755 (1980) to over 1,600 (2000) as South Hall County boomed.
