== Fun facts ==
* Leesburg makes a chunk of its income revenue off of speeding tickets, although it's not the largest source of income, and it's far from the worst speed trap.
* Bluffton was founded as a mining community in 1888. In 1890, Bluffton was home to approximately 8,000 residents. The Bluffton Land, Ore and Furnace Company operated an iron mine in the area, and was also responsible for building the Signal Hotel, which at one point hosted Rudyard Kipling. The Signal Hotel was the first structure in Cherokee County with electric lights.
* Round Mountain was centered on a blast furnace. The furnace first opened in 1852 and averaged 11 tons of iron manufactured per week. It was the first furnace in Alabama to use red iron ore to produce iron. The furnace was partially destroyed by Major General Francis Blair in 1864. It continued operation until closing in 1906.
