Brasstown, Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brasstown was an extinct Cherokee village in Towns County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] The exact location of Brasstown is unknown to the GNIS.[1] It was situated about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of present-day Hiawassee, on the upper part of Brasstown Creek.[1][2]
The name "Brasstown" is the result of a mistranslation of its native Cherokee-language name Itse'yi, which correctly translates to "town of the green valley".[2]
