Keithsburg, Georgia

Keithsburg, population 205, is an unincorporated community in Cherokee County, Georgia, United States.

[citation needed] Keithsburg was established in the mid nineteenth-century along the railroad northeast of Canton.

During the Civil War, the Keith family buried its valuables and suspended its food in trees in order to hide it from the approaching Union Army.

The Keith house was rebuilt in 1865 from kiln-dried bricks made of clay from the nearby Etowah River.

[1] Today, the Keith property is in shambles, with kudzu covering what remains of the house and barns.
