  ## History
  
  Conasauga is the site of a former historic Cherokee settlement. "Conasauga" is a name derived from the Cherokee language meaning "grass". Variant names are "Connasauga", "Connesauga", "Connesawga", and "Cunasagee".
  
  European Americans replaced them in this area after removal. They established a post office called "Connesauga" in 1880, and it operated until 1909. The people abandoned the community, moving to larger towns.
