Description: Originally a Cherokee settlement, the area was used as an internment camp for indigenous people during the Trail of Tears. It was incorporated as a US city in 1839, the year after the deportation of the Cherokee. The name is believed to be derived either from a Muskogean term for a dewlling rock or a Creek term for a rock rising to a point, both generally assumed to be references to Lookout Mountain, which overlooks the city.
