The history of North Georgia Mountain Real Estate. The Georgia Mountains Region or North Georgia mountains is an area that starts in the northwest corner of Georgia and spreads in a westerly direction. The mountains in this region are in the Blue Ridge mountain chain that ends in Georgia. At over 1 billion years of age, the Blue Ridge mountains are the oldest mountains in the United States and sometimes falsely thought to be the oldest mountains in the world (in fact they are only about one third of the age of South Africa Barberton greenstone belt. At 3.6 billion years of age the Barberton greenstone belt are generally accepted to be the oldest mountains on Earth). The mountains in this region are also a part of the vast system of North American mountains known as the Appalachian Mountains that spans most of the United States longitudally along the eastern areas through North Georgia and terminates in Alabama.
The region is known for its ruggedness and scenic beauty.
The Cherokee who lived in these mountains called them Sah-ka-na'-ga - "The Great Blue Hills of God."
