Resaca

Resaca has served as a railroad settlement in northwest Georgia since the mid-19th century. It stands beside the Oostanaula River, formed where the Coosawattee and Conasauga rivers meet, within Georgia’s Ridge and Valley region. In May 1864, the Battle of Resaca became the first major engagement of the Atlanta Campaign, pitting Union forces led by William T. Sherman against Confederate troops under Joseph E. Johnston. The Resaca Battlefield Historic Site preserves sections of the earthworks associated with this Civil War battle. Railroad tracks and the river still shape the town’s compact setting.
