Official Website

The Georgia General Assembly passed an act on December 5, 1853 to create Pickens County. It is named for American Revolutionary War General Andrew Pickens.

Most of Pickens County's early industry revolved around marble. Georgia Marble Company is located in Marble Hill near Tate. The marble was also used to make the statue of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial. Most of the marble is white, but it is one of the few places in the world where pink marble is found. The marble is also used for tombstones for the United States military.
