Rome Travel Guide
Rome, Georgia was established in the late 17th century and was named after the European Rome due to its location at the foot of seven hills -- similar to the Italian capital. Rome was an important supplier of iron and iron works during the Civil War, and so has many historical buildings and memorials throughout the town. Plus, Rome is also a home to Coca Cola inventor, John Pemberton.
