This is Georgia Historical Marker 115-1A, standing to the east of the entrance to the Polk County Courthouse in Cedartown, Georgia. The text of the sign reads:

POLK COUNTY
Created December 20, 1851 and named for President James Knox Polk. Cedartown is fittingly named for the trees which flourish in this beautiful valley. The city is a railroad center, has a thriving textile industry, and a large paper mill.

Rockmart, thirteen miles to the east, has textile mills that give the area much employment and a large payroll, and as well is the center of portland cement production.
