Formed as part of Cherokee and Gilmer counties in 1853, Pickens has been renowned for its incredibly pure marble deposits that led to increased settlement and development of the county. The marble mined from Pickens County has been used in many renowned structures, such as the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art and the Lincoln Memorial, to name just a few. The marble mining industry and railroads caused rapid growth in Pickens County in its earlier years, but population growth was also spurred by the construction of stunningly beautiful gated communities during the 1970s. These large communities, which were developed with the appreciation of the mountain vistas and four seasons of distinctive weather, continue to provide quality real estate to both long-time residents and newcomers who enjoy mountain living at its finest.
