[6] The Old Marion County Courthouse still stands at Tazewell and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. [7]

A variant spelling was "Tazwell" (without the E). [3] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Tazwell" in 1854. [8] Tazewell today is an unincorporated area. [3]
