In 1837 a group of Savannah investors incorporated a company called the Georgia Marble Company, with the intention to develop a marble industry in the state. Other marble works opened near Jasper, the seat of newly created Pickens County and near what had been the Marble Head post office. Despite these dealings, census takers found no marble works operating in Pickens County in 1870 or 1880.
