Orange is an
unincorporated community located in eastern
Cherokee County between the communities of
Macedonia and
Lathemtown in the
U.S. state of
Georgia. Orange was the second community in Cherokee County upon the county's inception in 1832.[1] This community was at its height during the later portion of the 18th century due to its location on the main highway into
Forsyth County. It had a post office, a general store, and Orange United Methodist,[2] one of the first churches in Cherokee.
