Georgia’s 119th county, and the county seat of Dawsonville [1]In 1850, Calhoun, Ga was called Dawsonville before it was renamed., were named for Judge William C. Dawson, a compiler of the laws of Georgia and commander of a brigade in the Creek Indian War of 1836. Dawson served in both houses of the Georgia state legislature, in Congress from 1836 to 1842 and in the U.S. Senate from 1849 until 1855.
