County Name and Origin


Polk County was created in 1851 from parts of Paulding and Floyd counties which were earlier part of Cherokee County. President James Knox Polk is honored in its naming. Cedartown, the county seat, dates to Indian times when a grove of cedars was a trading place and the site of festivals.
