VISIT DOWNTOWN BLAIRSVILLE
a Place for all seasons
Welcome to Downtown Blairsville, y’all!
Nestled in the heart of the North Georgia mountains, our town carries a rich and resilient history that reflects the true spirit of Appalachian heritage and small-town American charm. Founded in the early 1800s and officially incorporated in 1835, Blairsville emerged as the county seat of Union County and quickly became a hub for regional trade, community life. Its central square, anchored by the Historic Union County Courthouse (1899), served as the beating heart of town—hosting everything from public gatherings to court proceedings and festivals. This beauty is still in use today as a venue and museum that educated the public on local history.
