of sign:
Polk County
Created
December 20, 1851, and named for President James Knox Polk. Cedartown
is fittingly named for the trees which
flourish
in this beautiful valley. The city is a railroad center, has a
thriving textile industry, and a large paper mill. Rockmart,
thirteen
miles
to the east, has textile mills that give the area much employment
and a large payroll, and as well is the center of portland
cement
production.
