Historic Ferries Of The Atlanta Area
Historic ferries operated on rivers around Atlanta, Georgia (U.S. state), Georgia area, and became namesakes for numerous current-day roads in north Georgia. Most of the ferries date to the early years of European-American settlement in the 1820s and 1830s, when Cherokee and other Native Americans still occupied part of what became Georgia.
