Georgia City

Today Dalton is a growing, vibrant reminder of Georgia's past and its future. Started in 1956 and only recently completed, Interstate 75 runs through Mill Creek Gap, over the site of much of the Battle of Rocky Face. The depot that witnessed almost of Dalton's growth has been reborn as a restaurant, fittingly called The Dalton Depot. Downtown Dalton features a wide array of businesses, including upscale shopping and food. The western side of the city includes three exits packed with just about every kind of fast food. In the late 1980's Tanger Outlet Mall opened its doors as a major regional attraction.

In the city are The Crown Archives, the largest private archives in the state. In addition to many original documents about the city and county, the archives house information on the carpet industry and The Civil War. The Blunt House, home of the first mayor, can be rented for special occasions. It is furnished with historic period pieces donated to the historical society by the Blunt family.

West Hill Cemetery is home to 4 known and 421 unknown Confederate soldiers. Four graves of unknown Union soldiers can also be found. A monument in the cemetery honors the Confederate troops who were engaged in the area.
