Rome: FUN FACT
At its founding in 1835, early European-American settlers named this Georgia city Rome because of the numerous rivers and seven hills that reminded them of the famous Italian capital city. In fact, former Italy Prime Minister Benito Mussolini once gifted the city a block of marble inscribed with the words, "From Old Rome to New Rome."
