Dallas with a Southern flair Both of the Southern Dallases had roots as cotton towns and held the original county seat, but the similiarities end there. Dallas, North Carolina, is lo- cated 17 miles west of Charlotte in the southwestern part of the state. Like its Oregon counter- part, it is situated between the coast and the mountains; referred to as the Piedmont plateau. Dal- las, North Carolina boasts 3,012 residents. In 1846, the North Carolina city was incorporated as the Gaston County Seat. Gastonia just a few miles south of Dallas, is the current county seat. As de- duced in part II of this series, the North Carolina Dallas was named in honor of George Mifflin Dallas, then Vice President of the U.S. The North Carolina town's origi- nal industries of cotton and tex- tiles have changed to more varied businesses. The Gaston County School District has an elementary school located in Dallas. Gaston, a two- year community college associ- ated with North Carolina Univer- sity is located just outside the Dallas city limits. Many thanks to Carolyn Rein- hardt of the Dallas branch of the Gaston County Public Library, for allowing me to interview her about her town. Dallas, Georgia, is located about 15 miles northwest of Atlanta, in the northern part of the state. It has a population of 2,810. Dallas, Georgia was named the Paulding County Seat in 1854. General Sherman torched. the county records of the Court House in Dallas, while leading the march to the sea through Savannah in December 1864. In its infancy, Dallas was Just a little cross-roads town with a few primitive stores and saloons - a rough and tough frontier place with no indusry. In 1880, the Southern Raflway changed all of that. In the early 1900s the first electric light and telephone came to town. Certainly the town has now changed, the Dallas citizens of 1854 would hardly Tecogriize it today.
