Etoho

Etoho was an early name for the North Oconee River, which runs through the wooded uplands of Georgia. Farther downstream the Oconee joins the Ocmulgee to form the Altamaha, carrying their waters to the Atlantic. In the late eighteenth century settlers established a Baptist congregation called Etoho near the shoals of the upper river. The river valley formed part of a much older Native landscape of paths and settlements.
