West Point is a city in Harris and Troup counties in the west-central portion of Georgia. It was founded in 1829 as an Indian trading post on the westernmost point of the Chattahoochee River. During the 1850s, the town was the terminus of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and became a prosperous cotton market prior to the Civil War. The town's wealthy merchants built numerous Greek Revival mansions during the antebellum period. - Local Identifier:
