Text of marker: "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. 115-1A GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1953" - External Identifiers:
