Whitfield County, GA

Whitfield County was formed in 1851 from Murray County and named for George Whitfield, the Methodist evangelist whose Great Awakening preaching shaped the religious culture of the colonial South and whose name was given to the county by settlers who carried that evangelical tradition into the Georgia frontier. Dalton, the county seat, grew from the small settlement of Cross Plains into a significant commercial center along the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the same line that connected Atlanta to Chattanooga and made North Georgia accessible to the broader national economy. The Battle of Dalton, fought in February 1864 during the opening phase of Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, brought the Civil War directly to Whitfield County, and the Confederate earthworks at Rocky Face Ridge, just west of Dalton, are among the best-preserved Civil War fortifications in Georgia. The First National Bank of Dalton, which issued national bank notes actively collected by currency specialists today, was chartered in the postwar commercial revival that transformed Dalton from a war-damaged railroad town into a thriving industrial center.

The tufted bedspread industry that would eventually make Dalton the Carpet Capital of the World began in the 1890s when Catherine Evans Whitener, a young woman from the Dalton area, revived the craft of hand-tufted bedspreads that her grandmother had practiced. Whitener's bedspreads attracted buyers from across the country, and by the 1920s the cottage industry she had revived had grown into a network of hundreds of home-based tufters working the roads around Dalton. The prosperity of the bedspread era brought new wealth into Whitfield County, and the families who built that industry accumulated pre-1933 gold coins and pre-1964 silver coins in patterns that reflect both the cash economy of the cottage industry and the deep Southern tradition of keeping hard money outside the banking system. The Liberty Head and Saint-Gaudens gold coins saved by Dalton's bedspread families during the prosperous 1920s are among the most historically significant numismatic artifacts associated with North Georgia's industrial heritage.

The transformation of the tufted bedspread industry into the modern carpet industry after World War II made Dalton one of the most economically significant cities in the American South. By the 1960s, over 90 percent of the world's tufted carpet was produced within a 65-mile radius of Dalton, and the industrial wealth generated by that concentration of manufacturing created a class of carpet industry families whose estates now surface with collections that span from the antebellum period through the late 20th century. The carpet industry families of Whitfield County accumulated significant quantities of pre-1933 gold coins, pre-1964 silver coins, gold and silver jewelry, and sterling silver flatware, and the estate attorneys who handle those collections regularly seek buyers with the expertise and financial strength to purchase them at fair market value.

Today, Dalton and Whitfield County are known throughout the world as the Carpet Capital, and the industrial heritage of the tufted carpet industry is documented at the Crown Gardens and Archives, one of the finest local history museums in North Georgia. Whitfield County estate collections reflect that layered history: early Bust and Seated Liberty silver from the antebellum railroad era, national bank notes from the First National Bank of Dalton, pre-1933 gold coins accumulated during the prosperous bedspread and early carpet years, and pre-1964 silver coins saved through the mid-20th century manufacturing boom.
