The population was 510 at the 2010 census. HistoryHelen was platted in 1912, and named after the daughter of a lumber official.[4] The town was incorporated in 1913.[5] Formerly a logging town that was in decline, the city resurrected itself by becoming a replica of a Bavarian alpine town, in the Appalachians instead of the Alps. This design is mandated through zoning first adopted in 1969, so that the classic south-German style is present on every building, even on the small number of national franchisees present (such as Huddle House and Wendy's). Tourism is a key economic activity in Helen,{{fact|date=January 2019}} catering mostly to weekend visitors from the Atlanta area and also motorcyclists who enjoy riding the roads in Helen and its surrounding areas.{{fact|date=January 2019}} Helen can be crowded in late October, when autumn leaves typically peak.{{fact|date=January 2019}} It also hosts its own Oktoberfest during September, October and November. Events and festivals are held throughout the year, including the 'Southern Worthersee', which is a stateside Volkswagen and Audi event that pays tribute to the Worthersee Tour in Austria. An annual hot-air balloon race is also held here on the first weekend in June. The main road through town is north/south Georgia 75. The Helen stream gauge (HDCG1) is located on its bridge over the Chattahoochee in the middle of downtown. A parallel route to the west is labeled Georgia 75 Alt to identify it as a bypass route around the town and its traffic jams in the autumn and on some weekends.{{fact|date=January 2019}} Unicoi State Park and Lodge, spanning 1,050 acres, is located immediately northeast of Helen on Georgia 356. The park encompasses Unicoi Lake, a 53-acre freshwater lake, offering outdoor activities for all seasons.{{fact|date=January 2019}} Among these are a swimming beach, trout streams, wheelchair-accessible fishing docks, seasonal canoe, kayak and paddle boat rentals, seven picnic shelters with charcoal grills, three playgrounds for children, spots for birding, 7.5 miles of hiking within the park (with adjacent trails in the Chattahoochee National Forest), 8 miles of mountain biking trails within the park, and a number of places to enjoy the natural environment of the lake and park.{{fact|date=January 2019}} Unicoi State Park also offers lodging in several forms. Access to Anna Ruby Falls, part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, is located through the park.[6]In 1975, DOCUMERICA photographer Al Stephenson documented the life, recreation, and economy of the Helen area before and during the construction of Alpine Helen. Smokey and the Bandit (1977) filmed a scene on Chimney Mountain Rd. just outside of Helen.
