Ellijay is a city in Gilmer County, Georgia, United States. The population was 1,619 at the 2010 census. The city is the county seat of Gilmer County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The city holds an annual (Apple Festival ) in October, and Gilmer County is known as the 'Apple Capital of Georgia'. Former President Jimmy Carter has a second log cabin home in Ellijay. ==History== Ellijay is the anglicized form of the Cherokee name ''Elatseyi'', meaning "new ground". Other sources say it means "green place". Gilmer County was cut from Cherokee County in 1832, and Ellijay became the county seat in 1834. Ellijay existed as a remote mountain community until the Marietta and Northern Georgia Railroad (later the L & N) arrived in 1884. This prompted something of a boom in the timber industry, but the area remained relatively isolated until the Zell Miller Mountain Parkway (Georgia 515; named for Georgia governor and U.S. senator Zell Miller) was completed in 1991. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellijay, Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
