Tallassee has a distinctive history tied to the Tallapoosa River, from its 19th-century textile mills to the Civil War armory that once produced carbines along the riverbank. Thurlow Dam and the river shape daily life and recreation, and the city remains a close-knit community where residents are used to traveling for specialized professional services.
