Due is a ghost town in Fannin County, Georgia, United States.[1]

Prior to European colonization, the area where Due was located was inhabited by the Cherokee people and other Indigenous peoples for thousands of years.

A post office called Due was established in 1895, and remained in operation until 1943.[2] The origin of the name "Due" is unknown.[3]
