Calhoun

City in northwestern Georgia, USA, near the Oostanaula River, 98 km/61 mi northwest of Atlanta; seat of Gordon County; population (2000) 10,700. It is a textile centre, producing sheets, bedspreads, and other home products.

Calhoun is 6 km/4 mi southwest of the site of New Echota, the last Cherokee capital in Georgia (1819–38). Sequoya, creator of the Cherokee syllabary (set of characters representing syllables), lived in the area. The Cherokee were forced onto the Trail of Tears in 1838. Originally called Oothcaloga, Calhoun was renamed in 1850, then almost completely destroyed by Sherman's troops in 1864.
