Founded in 1851 as Fort Blount, the city was later renamed in honor of Francis S. Bartow, the first brigade commander of the Confederate Army to die in combat during the American Civil War. The town hosts the Bloomin' Bike Ride and Tour de Tow, popular cycling events that take riders through the scenic backcountry of the area.
