Berryton is an unincorporated community in Chattooga County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.
Berryton was originally called "Raccoon" after a local textile mill of the same name.[1] A post office called Berryton was established in 1910, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1956.[2] The present name is after John Berry, proprietor of the mill.[3]
