Paulding County was created from Cherokee County. Creeks and Cherokees resided on Raccoon Creek, and other waters where many flints and arrows were found. The county was named in 1832 after John Paulding, one of the men who had captured the famous British spy, Major Andre, during the Revolutionary War. Major Andre was the accomplice of Benedict Arnold.
In 1833 when Archibald Holland was removed to Paulding County a family of Cherokees having six children resided along the 10-Mile Run near Raccoon Creek. Nearby huge mounds.

Paulding County Boys Fought for the Confederacy
George Washington Holland of High Shoals Road enlisted in the war and was in the battles of General Crowe (Kings Schoolhouse), Malvern Hill, 2nd Manassas, Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Bentonville, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbour, The Crater, and Averasboro. Also, according to his pension, he served alongside his brother, Harris Holland, in the Army of Tennessee in August of 1863. The first day of the battle (April 10, 1865) was a fierce struggle wherein the Confederates failed to dislodge the Federals by dark. Wash Holland was captured and taken prisoner on the first day (April 10, 1865)of the Battle of Bentonville and the following day was received at Harts Island in the New York Harbor. In June he was released when he took the Oath of Allegiance, which meant that he agreed not to return to Confederate service. When Sherman reached Georgia, one of the hottest battles known as the Battle of New Hope Church engaged many soldiers from Paulding County.
