It is the principal city of the Rome, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of Floyd County. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 34,980, and is the largest city in Northwest Georgia. Though no Interstate highway passes through Rome, it is the largest city near the center of the triangular area defined by the Interstate highways between Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga, which contributes to its importance as a regional center in several areas, such as medical care and education. Rome's name is a commemoration of the Italian city of Rome. Rome, Georgia, was built on seven hills with a river running between them, a feature that was an inspiration for the name. This connection is emphasized by a replica of the statue of Romulus and Remus nursing from a mother wolf, a symbol of the original Rome, which was a 1929 gift from the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. read full wikipedia reference about Rome, Georgia OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN GEORGIAAcworth Adel Albany Alpharetta Americus Ashburn Athens Atlanta Augusta Austell Bainbridge Brunswick Buford Byron Calhoun Cartersville College Park Columbus Commerce Conyers Cordele Covington Dahlonega Dalton Decatur Douglasville Dublin Duluth Forest Park Forsyth Gainesville Griffin Helen Jekyll Island Kennesaw Kingsland La Grange Lawrenceville Macon Madison Marietta McDonough Milledgeville Morrow Newnan Norcross Peachtree City Perry Pooler Port Wentworth Richmond Hill Ringgold Rome Savannah Smyrna Statesboro Stockbridge Stone Mountain Suwanee Thomasville Tifton Tucker Union City Valdosta Warner Robins Waycross |
