Tallapoosa is probably the oldest town in Haralson County. Prior to a Post Office being established there in 1839, it was called by many different names, one of which was Possom Snout.


See The Colonization of Tallapoosa by Carole E. Scott for a very interesting article about the "Yankee Boom Days" of Tallapoosa. (Link used by permission from Carole Scott.)
