However, the California Gold Rush in 1849 put the city into an economic depression. Modern history ĭuring the 1830s and 1840s, Cumming benefited from the gold mining industry as many businesses were created to meet the needs of the miners. Yet another theory is that the town is named after Alexander Cuming, the son of a Scottish baronet. Frederick Cumming, a professor of Jacob Scudder, a resident of the area since 1815 who owned land in present-day downtown. An alternate theory proposed by a local historian posits the name honors Rev. The community is commonly thought to be named after Colonel William Cumming. During that same year, the Georgia State Legislature incorporated the town of Cumming into the City of Cumming and made it the official government seat of Forsyth County.Ī second charter was issued in 1845, decreeing that Cumming's government would follow the mayor–council model of government. The justices of the Inferior Court divided the town land into smaller lots and began selling them to people over the next several years, reserving one lot for the county courthouse. In 1834 the post office was established and began delivering mail. The boundaries of the two lots ended at what is now Tolbert Street on the west side, Eastern Circle on the east side, Resthaven Street on the south side, and School Street on the north side. The two lots designated as Land Lot 1269 and Land Lot 1270 were purchased by a couple of Forsyth County Inferior Court justices who realized that it was necessary to have a seat of government to conduct county business. In 1833, the town of Cumming was formed from two 40-acre (16 ha) land lots that had been issued as part of a Georgia State Land Lottery in 1832. In 1832, the county had been split into several counties including Forsyth County. The Cherokee territory was then formed into Cherokee County in 1831. The treaty stated that the Cherokee Nation must move to the Indian Territory, west of the Mississippi River. In 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed. Settlers that moved to the area to mine for gold pushed for the removal of the Cherokee. The Cherokee coexisted with white settlers until the discovery of gold in Georgia in 1828.

Even so, these cards preserved much of the iconography that had fascinated 16th-century Europe: astronomy, alchemy, mysticism, and history. Unlike tarot, however, pips were surely meant as diversion instead of divination. From stars and birds to goblets and sorcerers, pips bore symbolic meaning, much like the trump cards of older tarot decks. Historically, pips were highly variable, giving way to different sets of symbols rooted in geography and culture. These graphic symbols, or “pips,” bear little resemblance to the items they represent, but they were much easier to copy than more lavish motifs. Today’s 52-card deck preserves the four original French suits of centuries ago: clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), hearts (♥), and spades (♠). But the gamblers were responsible for some of the most notable features of modern decks. Forging an ace was a crime punishable by death.Įverybody played cards: kings and dukes, clerics, friars and noblewomen, prostitutes, sailors, prisoners. Similar bans were enacted throughout Europe as preachers sought to regulate card playing, convinced that “the Devil’s picture book” led only to a life of depravity. In his book The Game of Tarot, the historian Michael Dummett explains that a 1377 ordinance forbade card games on workdays in Paris. Card playing became so widespread and disruptive that authorities banned it. In medieval Europe, card games occasioned drinking, gambling, and a host of other vices that drew cheats and charlatans to the table. ![]() Either way, commercial opportunities likely enabled card playing’s transmission between the Far East and Europe, as printing technology sped their production across borders. Yet another hypothesis argues that nomads brought fortune-telling cards with them from India, assigning an even longer antiquity to card playing. A handful of European literary references in the late 14th century point to the sudden arrival of a “Saracen’s game,” suggesting that cards came not from China but from Arabia. Scrolls from China’s Tang Dynasty mention a game of paper tiles (though these more closely resembled modern dominoes than cards), and experts consider this the first written documentation of card playing. “But they generally agree that cards spread from East to West.” “Scholars and historians are divided on the exact origins of playing cards,” explains Gejus Van Diggele, the chairman of the International Playing-Card Society, or IPCS, in London. The birthplace of ordinary playing cards is shrouded in obscurity and conjecture, but-like gunpowder or tea or porcelain-they almost certainly have Eastern origins. ![]() ![]() ![]() This menu also offers choices in vehicle camera pitch and allows the player to turn on/off the rear view mirror and speedometer as well as the player car location icon.
