The Chattahoochee river has played a key role in the history of the state of Georgia. Archaic and Woodland Indians are known to have called the Chattahoochee home. Moundbuilders navigated it as far north as present-day Helen, Georgia. The Cherokee and the Creek Nation used the river as a border, first between their Nations, then between themselves and early settlers. In its watershed the Georgia Gold Rush occurred. Crossing the river was a major accomplishment for William Tecumseh Sherman during the Atlanta Campaign.
