Forever Changed by War
—Atlanta Campaign Heritage Trail —
Dallas became the seat of government for Paulding County, Georgia in 1852. By 1861, the town's population was approximately 200 citizens. The Civil War era courthouse was located across Main Street east of the building that succeeded it in 1892. The intersection of two wartime roads led generally south from Dallas on the Villa Rica road (present day Hardee Street) and a less traveled road (on present day Main Street) toward Pumpkinvine Creek Church. In May 1864 nearly 170,000 soldiers in the Federal and Confederate armies faced each other in Dallas and throughout Paulding County for almost two weeks. The massive number of men, wagons, horses, mules and other livestock changed Dallas and Paulding County forever.HM Number | HM283J |
