Discover Tallapoosa
Tallapoosa, in Haralson County, was a place of great ceremonial importance to Native peoples. Several trails met here, and Choctaw, Creek and Cherokee people gathered in a grove called the "Seven Chestnuts" to trade or make war. In 1826 settlers found an Indian village here called Charles Town, named for a noted warrior. The name Tallapoosa comes from the Creek words talwa, "town," and puse, "grandmother."
More about Tallapoosa
In 1842 farmer William Owens found gold, and some 100,000 pennyweights were mined. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Tallapoosa as a town in 1860, and the Georgia Pacific Railroad was built through in 1882. In 1890 General Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts and other notables, including two U.S. treasurers, A. U. Wyman and James W. Hyatt, organized the Georgia Alabama Investment and Development Company to build a new city along the tracks. It drew about 15,000 investors and 3,000 new residents, and Henry W. Grady called it a city "built as if by magic." Sources The Historical Marker Database: Historic Tallapoosa (Georgia Department of Natural Resources) Wikipedia: Tallapoosa, Georgia
