Sugartown was the name of at least three Cherokee towns. In Cherokee , the name was Kulsetsiyi (Syllabary:ᎫᎳᏎᏥᏱ), meaning "honey-locust place" from "kulsetsi" ( honey-locust ) and "yi" (locative). The word "kulsetsi" came to be used for " sugar " as well, thus the town name was often rendered "Sugartown" by the English colonists . One Sugartown was located on the Keowee River near Fall Creek, close to present-day Salem, South Carolina . It was just upriver from the principal "Lower Town" of Keowee . A second Sugartown was located on the Cullasaja River close to the mouth of Ellijay Creek, near present-day Franklin, North Carolina . The Cullasaja River's name is a rendering of "Kulsetsi". This Sugartown was near the principal "Middle Town" of Nikwasi . A third Sugartown was located on Sugar Creek, a tributary of the Taccoa River , near the present-day city of Blue Ridge, Georgia .
