City/town information
Cute downtown square with lots of antiques shops and restaurants. In 2018, voted "Top 10 Nicest Places in America". "Ellijay is the kind of town where locals make a seat at the table for you, whether they know you or not, and the infectious kindness of Ellijay makes it impossible not to be drawn in. Families stop into town for a day. Then for a vacation. Then for a lifetime."
