History Cornelia was first settled by non-Native Americans in around 1860, along an old boundary line between the Cherokee and Creek Indian tribes. Workers of the Charlotte-Airline Railroad (later Southern Railway) invaded the virgin forest in 1872 and began building railway line from Gainesville to Toccoa. In 1882, the Blue Ridge and Atlantic Railroad opened a line that extended northward from the Charlotte-Airline to Clarkesville and Tallulah Falls. The Tallulah Falls Railway, as it came to be called, carried passengers and freight from Cornelia to Franklin, North Carolina. For other uses, see Cherokee (disambiguation). ...

The Big Red Apple stands on the railway depot grounds in downtown Cornelia. The replica of the North Georgia apple is seven feet high and has a circumference of twenty-two feet. It weighs 5,200 pounds and is painted in natural colors. The apple is constructed of steel and concrete and was molded in Winchester, Virginia, in 1925.

German and Swiss immigrants used their wine-making skills to create an industry in the 1880s that flourished until a prohibition law stopped it. Cotton, timber and lumber products, and the apple and peach industries were also important to the success of the area. Riegel Textile built the community's first major industrial facility in 1966 with what was then an ultra-modern, cutting edge textile mill designed by Bill Pittendreigh although the mill was actually located on the edge of the community in Alto, Georgia. As with any city, there were a number of businesses, but hotels contributed greatly to the growth and development of the city in its early history.
