With Hall County’s bicentennial more than a year away, let’s all hope we look this good at 200. County government and a handful of other groups are planning a year’s worth of events, exhibits and celebrations in 2018 to mark the county’s 200th birthday. The county was created on Dec. 15, 1818, by the state legislature. The land chosen for Hall bordered the Chattahoochee River in the west and, across it, Cherokee country. When the border was drawn, Lake Lanier would not be dammed and filled for another 138 years.
