Tallapoosa

Tallapoosa sits near the Tallapoosa River in western Georgia, where the rolling foothills of the southern Appalachians lead toward the Alabama state line. This Haralson County city was shaped by the railroad and land-development boom of the late 19th century, and its downtown remains the civic center of a small west Georgia community. Tallapoosa is also known for its New Year's Eve Possum Drop tradition, a distinctly local celebration that has brought the town attention beyond the region. Around the center, local businesses and quiet streets reflect the slower rhythm of Georgia's interior, while the surrounding terrain marks a transition between Piedmont country and Appalachian foothills.
