Dalton combines a world-renowned flooring-manufacturing identity with a ridge-lined Appalachian setting in a way that reflects its position in northwest Georgia. Rocky Face Ridge lies west of the city, part of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians and the site of fighting during the 1864 Atlanta Campaign. Dalton’s association with tufted textiles began with the bedspread industry and developed into the carpet business that earned it the title “Carpet Capital of the World.” Downtown streets, rail links and production facilities still reflect that industrial legacy, while the surrounding ridges give the city a distinctly inland Southern setting.
