History

Etowah began as a settlement established for workers of the Chapman and Dewey Lumber Company in the 1890s. When a post office was established in 1902, the name “Etowah” was chosen after several other names had been rejected by the postal service. Etowah incorporated as a town in 1996.

In recent years few have run against Mayor McCullom (Mayor Bo), who usually runs unopposed. Similarly, the seven City Council members are usually re-elected.
