Cohutta is a town in Whitfield County, Georgia, United States. It is portion of the Dalton Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 764 at the 2020 census.

The architecture of the small city gives the proclaim that it taking into account displayed a vivacious downtown; this is perhaps due to the once-booming railroad system that still rumbles through Cohutta. Cohutta reflects the trajectory of many smaller towns in the United States. The town emerged as a End on the railroad from Cleveland, Tennessee, to Dalton, Georgia, and served as a transportation and commercial middle for the surrounding cultivation areas. According to local lore, the town was originally known as “Shakerag,” from the rag would-be passengers would reply to End trains passing through.

In the 1920s, the town had a bank and a hotel, as competently a tall school, and was frequented especially in summer by inhabitants of Chattanooga seeking cooler temperatures. The high school burned all along in 1952 and was not rebuilt.

As recently as the late 1960s, Cohutta had a small supermarket, three smaller “sundry” stores, a feed and seed, and a hair salon. The build up of roads and the ease of understanding to larger cities (in this case, Dalton) drew shoppers away, so that by the 1990s, Cohutta had no large businesses at anything with the exception of a downtown hardware store, a general store near the main road leading downtown from SR-71, and two convenience stores located at each decline of town on the make a clean breast highway route. Over the last decade, the surrounding area has become something of a bedroom community for Dalton, with housing developments taking more than many of the farms in the area. Regardless, Cohutta maintained whatever town facilities during this mature as required by the charter to augment town police, fire, and sanitation facilities to incorporated properties.
