Ringgold

Among the cities of Georgia, Ringgold stands out for its Civil War battlefield and its position in the narrow passage of Ringgold Gap. The town lies beside Taylor Ridge in northwestern Georgia, where the gap has long provided a route through the ridge country near the Tennessee line. On 27 November 1863, Confederate troops under Patrick Cleburne held this pass against pursuing Union forces in the Battle of Ringgold Gap, protecting the Confederate army's withdrawal after Chattanooga. Downtown's restored Ringgold Depot recalls the Western & Atlantic Railroad, which helped establish the community in the mid-19th century.
