Sixes, Georgia

Sixes, home to approximately 14,540, is an unincorporated community in western Cherokee County, Georgia, United States, located about three miles west of Holly Springs and near the eastern shore of current-day Lake Allatoona.

The community is located in the Georgia Gold Belt, which runs southwest to northeast along the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

[1] In addition, the community is home to the Sixes Mill, which was originally built around 1820 by early gold prospectors and later rebuilt circa 1880.

Sutallee, a community that sits on the opposite side of the Etowah River (now Lake Allatoona) in western Cherokee County, also derives its name from this Native American village.

Today, Sixes is a growing suburban community with many large, upscale residential neighborhoods, including BridgeMill.
