Roosevelt’s New Deal to attempt to re-activate the American economy and bring it out of the Depression of 1929 five Civil Works Administration facilities were created on Lookout Mountain and the Northwest Georgia community of Fort Oglethorpe. Much of the road construction at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park during the 1930s and 1940s was connected to the other work projects on Lookout Mountain completed by the Emergency Conservation Works Administration.

Washington after the famed black American educator.
