Biohazard Cleanup Near Rodgers Euharlee, GA

Euharlee is a city in southwestern Bartow County, Georgia, and a bedroom community of Cartersville, the county seat nine miles to the east.

The name Euharlee is a Cherokee word meaning "she laughs as she runs," a reference to the sound of Euharlee Creek.

The settlement was originally called Burge's Mill, for the mills Nathaniel Burge built on Euharlee Creek near its confluence with the Etowah River in the 1840s.

The town was incorporated as Euharleyville in 1852, when its population reached nearly 2,300, and was chartered under the name Euharlee on September 16, 1870.

After the Civil War the town dwindled to just 65 residents by 1970, but it was re-chartered in 1976 and has grown steadily since.

As of the 2020 census, Euharlee had a population of 4,268; back in 2000 the census counted 3,208 residents in 1,004 households.

The Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge, built in 1886 by Washington W. King — son of famed bridge builder and former slave Horace King — is one of the oldest covered bridges remaining in Georgia and the only one left in Bartow County.

The Etowah River flows through the eastern part of Euharlee, and Euharlee Creek joins the river just south of the center of town.

The Euharlee Farmers Club, established in 1883, is considered the oldest continuously operating farmers club in the world.

Historic downtown Euharlee preserves a pre-Civil War militia district courthouse, an old calaboose (jail), and a hand-dug travelers' well near the covered bridge.
