Come for the abundant natural beauty and friendly atmosphere ... Stay for the high quality of life.

Welcome, from the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce.

 
Many people are looking for a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle.  The chance to witness a spectacular sunrise over Weiss Lake, a drove of wild turkeys seen while driving around Little River Canyon, sounds of laughter from rafters afloat Terrapin Creek, a breathtaking sunset viewed from atop Lookout Mountain, watching rock climbers at Cherokee Rock Village … many people look for such places, and we’re just a short drive from the major cities of Atlanta, Birmingham and Chattanooga.   

Cherokee County, Alabama, is nestled in the quiet countryside of northeast Alabama. On any given day you’ll see the farmers still at work in their fields; families together at campgrounds; children’s baseball games; fishing from bass boats or backyard piers; water skiing; boating; hiking and hunting. Yet, still we have plenty of space for you.  Explore! 

Industries and many businesses provide good quality jobs for residents. Educational opportunities range from K-12 to college.   Cherokee County appreciates a stellar medical community, recognizing our outstanding physicians and the Cherokee Medical Center.    

You will enjoy shopping at antique malls, local downtown merchants, major retail stores, and auctions.  You will be delighted with specialty dining at several home owned restaurants and many chain establishments as well.   

Come visit an area of northeast Alabama that will have you wanting to come back again and again.  Cherokee County, Alabama … a great place to visit, a great place to live.  We welcome you!
