Ball Ground, Ga - poster stamp

Ball Ground, Ga - 1939 - John Coulthard poster stamp on cover

Ball Ground is a city in Cherokee County, Georgia, United States. The city was originally Cherokee territory before they were removed from the land and it was given to white settlers. A railroad was built in 1882 and a town was formed around the resulting railroad stop. The town was incorporated on January 1, 1883, and became an industrial-based economy largely centered around its marble industry until around the mid-20th century

 John Coulthard was a producer and artist on cachets for first day cover, naval covers and a set of poster stamps on envelopes with strange town names: Ball Ground, Ga - Gasoline, Tx - Bald Knob, WVa - Hell's half Acre, Wy - among the list
