Enjoy The Charm of Rome at a Bed and Breakfast

Rome, Georgia is an interesting place with a background full of intrigue and battles. It was established in 1834, and had its first stretch of railroad, some eighteen miles long, begin construction in 1849. The railroad took on the name 'The Rome Railroad' in 1890, and was used to transport cotton to and from Rome. It quickly became a hub for rail and steamboat transportation, making it a major contributor to the cotton industry.

In 1886 Rome was devastated by major flooding from the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers and historians say the water was high enough a steamboat traveled through town. When the dam at Allatoona was completed, flooding in Rome and the surrounding area in the valley were a thing of the past. Rome blossomed over the next several years, overcoming many hardships to become the wonderful city it is today. The visitor to this Georgia city can find many wonderful sights and locations of historical interest to make their stay a memorable one.
