On behalf of the Mayor, Commissioners, City Manager & City employees, we welcome you to the City of Cornelia the Home of the Big Red Apple!  Cornelia is  nestled in the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains.  We have a lot to offer visitors looking for a small historic town with plenty of charm.

Vistors to downtown can shop, eat and enjoy the historic and scenic attractions.  Major attractions include two National Historic Structures (Cornelia Communtity House and the Chenocetah Tower), Historic Railroad Depot, Big Red Apple Monument Park and within the City limits are six family friendly parks.

 

Thank you again for visiting our site.

 

The NE Ga. Arts Council was very generous to the City of Cornelia.  They donated two bronze statues of children playing.  They want to encourage people to appreciate and get involved in the arts.  Pictured here are Janie Henderson, City Clerk, Tony Hamilton, President of the NE Ga. Arts Council, Mayor Margaret Ballard and City Manager, Donald Anderson.

The start of our 2nd phase of streetscape has started!  In the next few months you will see major improvements in our downtown area as we begin work on Hodges Street.  Please watch for detours and pardon the construction, but remember you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet!    Also please remember that the stores/resturants are still open and worth the effort to reach them!
