Toccoa, Georgia
 Toccoa, the county seat of Stephens County, was incorporated on
February 26, 1875. Prior to English settlement, Cherokee Indians
occupied the area of Toccoa. Legend says the Cherokee named the area "Toccoah"
meaning "beautiful" in their language. The City of Toccoa originated in 1873, and can be traced back to the development of a coaling station for the Atlanta to Charlotte Railroad after the Civil War. Traveler's Rest State Historic Site, which is located in Toccoa is an 18th Century Stagecoach Inn Plantation constructed around the 1830s. This site was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1966. Another favorite attraction in Toccoa is Currahee Mountain, home of the infamous Currahee Rangers from the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne which was documented in the eleven movie episodes of Stephen Ambrose’s book, Band of Brothers. Toccoa is also home to The Currahee Military Museum, filled with artifacts from the paratroopers who trained on Currahee Mountain and led the fight across Europe to help defeat the German Third Reich during WWII. Toccoa was home to Paul Anderson, the Guinness Book of World Records' "Strongest Man". Anderson was also the 1956 Olympic Gold Medalist in super heavy weight and weightlifting.
