Powder Springs is a quaint community that offers a quiet serene, and active lifestyle while having the convenience of all the amenities of a major metropolitan area. The city has a rich and colorful history. The City of Powder Springs was incorporated as Springville in 1838 in the lands of two Cherokee Indian chiefs, Chief Nose and Chief Ana Kanasta (Sweetwater). The Cherokee Indians were forced off their land and marched to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.” Over 4,000 died on the way. The name of Springville was changed to Powder Springs in 1859. The name was derived from the seven springs in the City Limits. The water in these springs contains some 26 minerals. Minerals that turn the surrounding sand black like gunpowder – hence the name Gunpowder Springs, shortened to Powder Springs. During the 1840’s and 1850’s the mild climate, rich soil and inviting springs made the city a health and recreation destination for people from all around.
