Ellijay is the county seat for Gilmer County. At one time the area was primarily agricultural and especially noted for its apple orchards. Although the county still produces more apples than any other in the Georgia, the area is now more diverse with people from all over choosing the area for their second home, for retirement, or for life-style driven relocation. The surrounding mountains (about 20 percent is National Forest) offer many outdoor recreation possibilities, such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, hunting, fishing, and boating.
