Dawsonvilles history as a small peaceful residential community situated in a beautiful, tranquil valley near the Blue Ridge Mountains began with violence and anarchy after gold was discovered near Dahlonega in 1828. The first buildings constructed in Dawsonville were the county government courthouse and the official county jail. Both Dawsonville and Dawson County were named after William Crosby Dawson, a well known Georgian judge, soldier and political authority who was in favor of slavery and states rights over federal rights. After the Civil War, growth in Dawsonville stagnated until Lake Lanier was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1956 and the increase in tourism stimulated commercial development.
