Brasstown, Georgia

Brasstown is an extinct Cherokee village in Towns County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. The exact location of Brasstown is unknown to the GNIS. It was situated about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of present-day Hiawassee on the upper part of Brasstown Creek.

The name "Brasstown" is the result of a mistranslation of its native Cherokee-language name Itse' yi, which correctly translates to "town of the green valley".
