Dalton, Georgia
The Carpet Capital of the World
 | 
Today Dalton, Georgia is known as the "Carpet Capital of the World," and for good reason. More than 90% of the functional carpet produced in the world today is made within a 65-mile radius of the city. The story of how Dalton became the Carpet Capital of the World dates back a hundred years to a cottage industry that grew thanks to the invention of the automobile. | | |
