Rome is the largest city in and the county seat of Floyd County, Georgia, United States. Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, it is the principal city of the Rome, Georgia, metropolitan statistical area, which encompasses all of Floyd County. At the 2020 census, the city had a population of 37,713. It is the largest city in Northwest Georgia and the 22nd-largest city in the state.
Rome was founded in 1834, after Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, and the federal government committed to removing the Cherokee and other Native Americans from the Southeast. It developed on former indigenous territory at the confluence of the Etowah and the Oostanaula rivers, which together form the Coosa River. Because of its strategic advantages, this area was long occupied by the historic Creek. Later the Cherokee people expanded into this area from their traditional homelands to the east and northeast. National leaders such as Major Ridge and John Ross resided here before Indian Removal in 1838.
The city has developed on seven hills with the rivers running between them, a feature that inspired the early European-American settlers to name it for Rome, the longtime capital of Italy that was also built on seven hills. The American Rome developed in the antebellum period as a market and trading city due to its advantageous location on the rivers. It shipped the rich regional cotton commodity crop downriver to markets on the Gulf Coast and export overseas.
In the late 1920s, a United States company built a rayon plant in a joint project with an Italian company. This project and the American city of Rome were honored by Italy in 1929, when its duce Benito Mussolini sent a replica of the statue of Romulus and Remus nursing from a mother wolf, a symbol of the founding myth of the original Rome.
It is the largest city near the center of the triangular area defined by the Interstate highways between Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga. It has developed as a regional center for the fields of medical care and education. In addition to its public-school system, it has several private schools. Higher-level institutions include private Berry College and Shorter University, and the public Georgia Northwestern Technical College and Georgia Highlands College.

The Historic City of Rome, Georgia is 70 miles northwest of Atlanta Georgia in Floyd County, with a population of over 37,000, it’s the largest city in the county and holds the county seat. http://romegeorgia.com/ Named after the ancient Roman city in Italy. It was founded in 1834. One of the stories told: was of two lawyers on horseback on their way to Floyd county seat, camped overnight by a creek, one of them noticed that the surrounding area resembled the ancient City, with seven Hills and three rivers that merge into each other. A long story short, they decided that it would be a perfect location for a city. After a back and forth debate of what it should be named, it was decided to name it Rome by Colonel Daniel Mitchell, that won a hat draw against four other future investors of the new city. It quickly became very prosperous in the first few decades. Even with the hardships of the Civil War when it was almost completely burned down by general Sherman of the union army. But true to its name, it rose out of its rubles even stronger. As it continued to prosper into the 20th century, in 1929 an Italian silk factory moved to town. And here is where an interesting story begins, about a bronze statue donated to the city from Rome Italy. And placed in front of the city hall. It was considered an unusual statue for some of the people of Rome Georgia. A little hard to swallow for the Romans of the new world. A 1500 pounds bronze She-Wolf statue nursing two naked babies. (Capitoline) It was considered obscene by a few, they went as far as putting diapers on the two babies during town functions at the auditorium in the city hall. But the majority of the Roman people were very proud of the gift and did not consider it unusual but a piece of art. If anyone knows the history of Ancient Rome, legend has it, the she-wolf fed the abandoned twins Romulus and Remus, the later founders of Rome. It has been the symbol of ancient Rome for thousands of years up to present time. http://www.romegeorgia.com/capwolf.html The plaque on the marble pedestal is in Latin and translated to English it says; This statue of the Capitoline wolf, As a forecast of prosperity and glory, has been sent from ancient Rome to new Rome, During the council-ship of Benito Mussolini in the year 1929. But in 1940 Italy declared war on the Allied forces, the Capitoline Wolf statue was taken down and stored away in the basement of city hall until 1952, when it was restored to its original place in front of city hall and is it is still today. It would be involved in an event of historic significance again on July 16, 1996 when the Olympic torch paused at the statue on its way to the centennial Olympic games in Atlanta Georgia at Stone Mountain Park. A bronze marker by local artist Tim Rush has been placed on the lawn of the city hall to commemorate this moment in time. Now, you know, the rest of the story! Rome has many monuments of well known people through history. Admiral John H. Towers Plaza is dedicated to the memory of Admiral John Henry Towers, native Roman and "the Father of Naval Aviation." Located adjacent to Rome City Hall and Auditorium, the life-size bronze statue and surroundings tells his amazing story. Rome City Hall & Auditorium, On the National Registry of Historic places the City Hall places and houses the City Auditorium, the Largest theater of its period still in daily use and hosts shows throughout the year. On the lawn to the right of the City Hall entrance is a monument dedicated to Dr. Robert Battey. A famed Rome druggist and civil War surgeon. Dr. Battey earned international recognition through innovative surgery in Europe and set a startling medical precedent by his performance of the world’s first ovariotomy in 1869. Carnegie Building, one of the Original 30 libraries funded by Andrew Carnegie in Georgia. Notice "Little Free Library" is a replica of the building to share literature. The City Clock Tower: The four-faced clock and tower are located on Tower Hill in downtown Rome. The tower was constructed in 1871 to hold the city's water supply. The clock was added in 1872. It is the official symbol of the city and sits atop one of Rome's seven hills. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

If anyone knows the history of Ancient Rome, legend has it, the she-wolf fed the abandoned twins Romulus and Remus, the later founders of Rome. It has been the symbol of ancient Rome for thousands of years up to present time. http://www.romegeorgia.com/capwolf.html The plaque on the marble pedestal is in Latin and translated to English it says; This statue of the Capitoline wolf, As a forecast of prosperity and glory, has been sent from ancient Rome to new Rome, During the council-ship of Benito Mussolini in the year 1929. But in 1940 Italy declared war on the Allied forces, the Capitoline Wolf statue was taken down and stored away in the basement of city hall until 1952, when it was restored to its original place in front of city hall and is it is still today. It would be involved in an event of historic significance again on July 16, 1996 when the Olympic torch paused at the statue on its way to the centennial Olympic games in Atlanta Georgia at Stone Mountain Park. A bronze marker by local artist Tim Rush has been placed on the lawn of the city hall to commemorate this moment in time. Now, you know, the rest of the story! Rome has many monuments of well known people through history. Admiral John H. Towers Plaza is dedicated to the memory of Admiral John Henry Towers, native Roman and "the Father of Naval Aviation."
