Description

1892 Tallapoosa, Ga. Haralson Co. Drawn & published by Geo. E. Norris. Burleigh, lith. co.

Bird's eye view map of Tallapoosa, Georgia, drawn and published by George E. Norris and Burleigh Lithograph in 1892. Beginning as a gold-mining town, Tallapoosa was known by several names in its early days, including Possum Snout, Pineville and Pine Grove. The Indian name of Tallapoosa was taken from the nearby river known by that name. In 1839, Tallapoosa established a post office and the town was incorporated in 1860.

The Lithia Springs Hotel and Park are referenced on the map. A group of northern investors conceived and completed the project in 1882, the same year that the railroad arrived in Tallapoosa. It featured 175 rooms and an elevator, and was considered to be the largest wooden building in the South at this time. The mineral springs on its grounds were in high demand as was the thirteen acre park with riding trails, tennis courts and bowling alleys. The trip to Tallapoosa from New York City took 32 hours by train and cost less than forty dollars for a round trip ticket.

An unusual statement, verifying the accuracy of the map appears in the lower margin:

"On this 18th day of February, 1892, before me, G. F. Quackinbush, a Notary Public in and for Haralson County, appeared Geo. E. Norris, who being sworn, deposes and says that the above view is a correct representation of the number and character of the buildings in Tallapoosa, no more having been shown than are built or in construction at this time, together with the general lay of the land and appearance of the same.

Sworn to before me this 18th day of February, 1892. GEO. E. NORRIS.
G. F. Quackinbush, Notary Public, Haralson Co. Ga."
