Recognition
The City of Chattanooga named the Market Street Bridge in Ross's honor, and a bust of Ross stands on the north side of the Hamilton County Courthouse lawn.
The city of Rossville, Georgia, just south of the Tennessee state line, is named in Ross' honor. It is the location of the "John Ross House," where the chief lived from 1830-1838 after the state illegally took his lands near the Coosa River. One of the oldest surviving homes in the Chattanooga area, it has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.
