Organizational meetings for what was to
become the
Georgia Unit - WBCCI were held in 1961 with the charter
granted in July. There were 31 charter members.
On February 23, 1967 a lease was signed with Cread
Dyer for his trailer park near Helen, GA. It had 10 hookups and
an old store building. A contest was held to select a name and
Joe Bennett's TOP OF GEORGIA won.
The park was opened officially on March 18,
1967, with 20
complete hookups at $1.50 per night and undeveloped
sites
at $1.00 per night.
By 1972, enough trailer pads had been added to make 102
complete hookups and 15 others with water and electricity.
In 1977, a contract was signed with Creed
Dyer to
purchase the Top of Georgia property.
In 1981, 84 completed sites were added in the
area below the bridge.
Currently there is approximately 400 members in the
Georgia Unit.
We are proud of our unit and of our beautiful park. Come
