Research shows Tallapoosa (formerly spelled Tallapoosee) derived from American Indian language Talwa=Rock Puse=Smear. Local lore references the term "Golden River" due to color created during rains from the Georgia red clay lending to the "Smear" reference. Some think since the lower Tallapoosa river found in Tallapoosa county Alabama contains a collection of loose stones and due to the fact native Americans traced ancestry through the female rather than the male that it could also reference Indian Language Pusa=Grandmother AKA "Rock Grandmother" since the Tallapoosa river starts in Tallapoosa, Georgia which would be the grandmother of the rocks found lower down stream.
