Turkeytown (Cherokee town)

Turkeytown (Cherokee: "Gun'-di'ga-duhun'yi"), sometimes called "Turkey's Town", was a small Cherokee village that once stretched for approximately 25 miles along both banks of the Coosa River, and became the largest of the contemporary Cherokee towns. It was named after the original founder of the settlement, the Chickamauga Cherokee chief, Little Turkey.

Turkeytown was the original site of the United States military outpost of Fort Armstrong established in October 1813 during the War of 1812 as an ongoing protection for the area. It was originally garrisoned entirely by Cherokee soldiers.
