Canton, GA Overview

Canton, the county seat of Cherokee County, was founded in 1833. It was originally named Etowah, for the Etowah River that flows nearby, but was officially incorporated as Canton in 1834. The name Canton was derived from the city's failed attempt to emulate Canton, China's prosperous silk-producing industry. Later, the town found success in mining both marble and gold. Eventually textile production and cotton crops became the region's major industry. Today, newcomers will find an array of housing styles throughout the city including Victorian, traditional, and ranch.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
