Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website

This County is available for adoption.
Our goal at Genealogy Trails
is to help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing genealogical and historical data and
placing it online for the free use of all researchers.

our original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity
to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and your data contributions.

Dade County was established in 1837 and was named for Major Francis
Langhorne Dade, who was killed in the Dade Massacre by Seminole Indians in December, 1835.
The first settlers of Dade County won the land in Georgia's land lottery and came to work in coke and coal mines.
Georgia did not have a road connecting to Dade County until the purchase of Cloudland Canyon in 1939. The county
could only be accessed through Alabama and Tennessee until then.
The county seat is Trenton, Georgia
Cities and towns
New England -- Rising Fawn -- Trenton -- Wildwood
