Nelson, GA

Straddling the border between Cherokee and Pickens counties, Nelson is a quiet North Georgia town with deep roots and a relaxed foothill vibe. Built on a rich history of marble quarrying and railroads, the community has kept its historic character intact, right down to the tracks running along Canton Road and the marble museum inside City Hall. For anyone considering a move, Nelson offers a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere with plenty of room to breathe. You get the benefits of a close-knit small town while staying only minutes from the everyday shopping, dining, and parks in neighboring Ball Ground, Jasper, and Canton.
