Once considered an elite health resort because of its pure mineral waters, tourists in Blue Ridge would ride the train to town, eat dinner at the Blue Ridge Hotel, and take a leisurely walk to the mineral springs after dinner. Today, visitors can still ride the train and take a leisurely walk along Main Street, enjoying the antique and specialty shops, galleries, restaurants and small town atmosphere of Blue Ridge.
Founded in 1886 as a result of the arrival of the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad, Blue Ridge developed as a center of business and in 1895 became the county seat. In the early years, at different times, there were five hotels and several boarding houses in downtown Blue Ridge.
