Gunters Mountain is in Marshall County and Jackson County, just west of Guntersville Lake, a reservoir on the Tennessee River. The town of Grant is located on top of the plateau of Gunters Mountain. The mountain is located about halfway between the cities of Guntersville and Scottsboro. It is also the highest point of Marshall County. [1] [3]
The town was called "The Bluff", and was used as a lookout station by Native American tribes, as they could see a great distance across, up and down the Coosa River. Hokes Bluff was one of the staging areas where the Cherokee were collected, and sent to Gunter's Landing (Guntersville), and west to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears.
