Talk:Cassville, Georgia

Eponym
Does anybody know the origin of the name? It may be named for Lewis Cass, but I'm guessing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MiguelMunoz (talk • contribs) 19:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

From Georgia Place names by Kenneth K. Krakow publish in 1975 by Kenneth K. Krakow and Winship Press link http://kenkrakow.com/gpn/georgia_place-names.htm

The book indicates on page 32 that Bartow County was once Cass County named for Michigan General Lewis Cass on December 3rd, 1832 but was changed to Bartow County named for Confederate General Francis Bartow on December 6th, 1831. Cassville was also renamed Manassas in 1861 after the battle where General Bartow was killed. While the Confederate recognized the name change the U.S. post office did not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrycdog (talk • contribs) 08:12, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
