New Echota
New Echota was the capital of the Cherokee Nation from 1825 until removal in the 1830s, near modern Calhoun in north-west Georgia, United States. Laid out as a planned town with a council house, a supreme court and a printing office, it published the Cherokee Phoenix. The Treaty of New Echota was signed there in 1835, and the site was later used to hold Cherokee before removal; it is now a state historic site.
