History of Aragaon GA
In 1929, Aragon was referred to as an “Industrial Utopia” because of the employment and recreation offered by one of the original industrial enterprises of Polk County. The Aragon Mill was owned by A.D. Julliard & Company, Inc. The mill was built and chartered in 1898 and was one of the largest in the state. In 1864, troops from Sherman’s forces camped out at the spring located here in hopes to outflank Johnson’s army at Allatoona, which resulted in the battle at New Hope Church in Dallas.
