“Chickamauga” primarily refers to a historic site in Georgia, USA, known for the Battle of Chickamauga, which was fought during the American Civil War from September 19 to 20, 1863. It was one of the war’s major battles and involved significant Union and Confederate forces, resulting in a Confederate victory. The site is also home to the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, which preserves the battlefields and commemorates the soldiers who fought there. Additionally, “Chickamauga” can refer to the Chickamauga Cherokee, a Native American tribe. The name itself is derived from a Native American word, possibly meaning “rock” or “running water.”
