Old Shorter Hill
Old Shorter Hill is a summit in Rome, Georgia.[2] With an elevation of 676 feet (206 m), Old Shorter Hill is the 910th highest summit in the US state of Georgia.[1] It is considered to be one of the Seven Hills of Rome, Georgia.[4][5]
The hill was originally known as Shelton Hill, named after the main landowner in the area.[6] The Cherokee Baptist Female College was originally housed in facilities located on the hill when it was founded in 1873.[7] In 1877, Cherokee Baptist Female College was renamed Shorter College, thanks to generous donations from Alfred and Martha Shorter.[6][4] In 1910, the college moved from Shelton Hill to its current location outside of downtown Rome.[7] The hill's name was changed to Old Shorter Hill upon the death of Martha Shorter.[6] There is currently a cul-de-sac on the summit.[4]
