Jasper, Georgia
| Jasper, the county seat of Pickens County, was incorporated as a
town December 22, 1857. The city was named in honor of Sergeant William
Jasper of South Carolina, who died during the siege of Savannah during
the Revolutionary War. In 1890, the marble courthouse in Jasper, Georgia was where citizens of Pickens County raised a Union Flag to protest Georgia's secession from the Union. The 1906 jail in Jasper has been restored and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The jail and other public buildings are faced with marble, Pickens' major resource. Jasper, Georgia is located on Ga. Highway #53 (Sam Tate Highway) with neighboring Georgia cities Tate and Talking Rock. Appalachian Technical Institute (formerly known as Pickens Technical Institute) is located in Jasper, Georgia. The Georgia Marble Festival, held in Jasper the first weekend in October, is an opportunity for visitors to tour the pit marble quarries, watch sculptors make marble pieces of art, enjoy arts and crafts, and be entertained by mountain music and country clogging. |
