Kingston

Kingston combines a quiet small-town setting with a consequential railroad-era past in a way that reflects its position in northwest Georgia. The Etowah River flows through Bartow County south of the community, amid the rolling inland terrain of the region. In the 19th century, Kingston was an important junction where the Rome Railroad connected with the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The town also figured in the Civil War’s Great Locomotive Chase: Union raiders were delayed here in 1862 by rail traffic. That history gives this modest settlement a lasting place in Georgia’s transport story. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Kingston and Bartow County.
