Cedartown carries the same name as a Creek Indian town previously found in the area. The name comes from the many Red Cedar
trees around the county.
Rockmart is at the end of a state-owned abandoned railroad line to Atlanta. Polk County has over a 15 mile paved section of the
Silver Comet Trail. The first section of the trail starts in Paulding County and heads west to Polk County. The second part of the trail

The
important part of the trail, located in Cedartown, is not paved and still has railroad tracks on the trail. This part of the Silver Comet Trail connects
Georgia to the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama.
