Forsyth County Remains Committed to Name of Sawnee for Mountain Range
Please find the below statement from Forsyth County Manager David McKee regarding State Rep. David Clark’s resolution in the Georgia House of Representatives to rename Sawnee Mountain to Trump Mountain.
“Following State Rep. Clark’s resolution to rename Sawnee Mountain, Forsyth County remains committed to the historical importance of the Sawnee name in our community and as the official name for one of our community’s most impactful natural resources. Forsyth County leadership was not included in any discussions regarding this resolution from Rep. Clark and would have opposed the motion had it been presented. We stand firm in preserving the legacy of the Cherokee tribe with the Sawnee name for the mountain range.”
