Cleveland, Georgia, was not named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland who died in 1806 but for his grandson, Gen. Benjamin Cleveland who was instrumental in establishing White County. Gen. Cleveland was a very prominent landowner in the Nacoochee Valley and gave part of the property on which the town of Clarkesville, Habersham County, is built. I believe Cleveland, TN, is named for Col. Benjamin Cleveland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.147.226 (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
