Georgia City

Today Dalton is a growing, vibrant reminder of Georgia's past and its future. Interstate 75 runs through Mill Creek Gap, over the site of much of the Battle of Rocky Face. The old depot that witnessed almost all of Dalton's growth still stands today, having been converted for use as The Dalton Depot restaurant and now ready for new redevelopment. Downtown Dalton features a wide array of businesses, including upscale shopping and food. The western side of the city includes one of the busiest interstate exits in northwest Georgia, booming with fast food, retail businesses, and more. 

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.
