Bartow County

Bartow County was established in 1832. Originally called Cass County, the County was renamed to honor Francis Bartow, Confederate Colonel who was the first officer of either side to die in combat at the First Battle of Manassas in 1861. Bartow County is located in the scenic foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and is home to Allatoona Lake, Etowah Indian Mounds, Red Top Mountain State Park, Barnsley Gardens Resort, Roselawn Museum, the Booth Western Art Museum, Weinman Mineral Museum, and Euharlee Historic Area.
