Amicalola is an unincorporated community located in Dawson County, Georgia, United States. It was named for the falls and nearby Amcalola Mountain. Amicalola means tumbling water in the Cherokee language; the Cherokee people lived throughout Georgia and southeastern Tennessee before Indian Removal.
A post office called Amicalola was established in 1846, and remained in operation until 1923.[2] The community takes its name from nearby Amicalola Creek.[3]
