Haralson County has four incorporated cities — Bremen, Buchanan, Tallapoosa and Waco — plus a scatter of unincorporated crossroads communities across its rural Piedmont townlands. The table below marks incorporated places as City<\/strong> (with the seat marked City · seat<\/strong>) and everything else as Unincorp.<\/strong> Population figures are shown only where the 2020 census reports a figure for that specific place; unincorporated communities are not separately enumerated by the census and are marked with a dash.<\/p>\n Old Tallapoosa is not the same place as the city of Tallapoosa; it is a separate rural crossroads a few miles to the northeast and predates the city’s 1882 railroad-driven growth.<\/p>\n Smaller communities such as Abernathys Mill, Besma, Budapest, Dugdown, Felton, Hooper, Little Creek, Morgan, Piney Woods, Poplar Springs, Tabernacle and West Crossing share the ZIP code of their nearest post-office town rather than having one of their own.<\/p>\n Haralson County lies in Georgia’s upper Piedmont, where the land rises toward a handful of foothills belonging to the Appalachian chain. The terrain is a mix of rolling pasture, pine woodland and small stream valleys draining toward the Tallapoosa River system in the county’s western reaches. The county’s 282 square miles of land carry about 1 square mile of water, a modest share reflecting the absence of any large reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\n
