Dalton

Town and administrative headquarters of Whitfield County, northwest Georgia; population (2000) 27,900. It is situated in the Cohutta Mountains, 42 km/26 mi southeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Since the early 20th century, Dalton has been a centre for the tufted-textile (candlewick) industry, producing a high proportion of the bedspreads and, later, carpets made in the USA; it has several large carpet plants. It is home to Dalton College (1963).

In the 19th century it was a shipping point for copper mined in the area. In 1863–64 it was a Confederate headquarters, and fell to General William Tecumseh Sherman's advance on Atlanta.
