PAULDING COUNTY
Created December 3, 1832, and named for
John Paulding, one of the captors of
Major Andre, accomplice of Benedict Arnold.
Van Wert, the first county seat,
was named for another of the captors.
When Polk County was created in 1851,
Dallas became the Paulding county seat.
Construction of the Seaboard and Southern
Railroads through the county, and intro-
duction of the textile industry, were of
much importance to county growth.
In 1864 major battles were fought at New
Hope and Dallas.
