A Little Rockmart History
Rockmart was incorporated in 1872 and takes its name from the rich deposits of slate found in the area. The town grew as a railroad stop and quarry community, and slate from Rockmart was shipped across the country. Today that heritage lives on in the town's historic buildings and character.
