History

Helen was platted in 1912, and named after the daughter of a lumber official. The town was incorporated in 1913.

Formerly a logging town that was in decline, the city resurrected itself by becoming a replica of a Bavarian alpine town, in the Appalachians instead of the Alps. This design is mandated through zoning first adopted in 1969, so that the classic southern German style is present on every building, even on the small number of national franchisees present (such as Huddle House and Wendy’s).

In 1975, Documerica photographer Al Stephenson documented the life, recreation, and economy of the Helen area before and during the construction of Alpine Helen.
