[[File:West Point Georgia Downtown.JPG|thumb|right|The West Point Commercial Historic District was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Troup County, Georgia|National Register of Historic Places]] on February 1, 2006.]]
'''West Point''' is a city in [[Troup County, Georgia|Troup]] and [[Harris County, Georgia|Harris]] counties in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. It is located approximately halfway between [[Montgomery, Alabama|Montgomery]], [[Alabama]] and [[Atlanta]] along [[Interstate 85 in Georgia|Interstate 85]]. As of 2020, its population was 3,719. Most of the city is in Troup County, which is part of the [[LaGrange, Georgia|LaGrange]] [[Troup County, Georgia|micropolitan statistical area]], and hence part of the [[Atlanta]]-[[Athens, Georgia|Athens-Clarke County]]-[[Sandy Springs, Georgia|Sandy Springs]], GA [[Atlanta metropolitan area|combined statistical area]].{{citation needed|date=December 2019}} A sliver in the south is in Harris County, which is part of the [[Columbus, Georgia|Columbus]] [[Columbus metropolitan area, Georgia|metropolitan statistical area]].

==History==
The city's present name comes from its being near the westernmost point of the [[Chattahoochee River]], where the river turns from its southwesterly flow from the [[Appalachian Mountains]] to due south – for all practical purposes – and forms the boundary with [[Alabama]]. The large nearby reservoir, [[West Point Lake]], was created by the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers|Army Corps of Engineers]] by the building of the West Point Dam, for water storage and hydroelectric power generation. The reservoir stores water which can be released during dry seasons, in order to maintain the water level of the navigable [[inland waterway]] from [[Columbus, Georgia]], south to the [[Gulf of Mexico]].

During the late spring of 2003, there was a flood caused by extremely heavy rainfall and thunderstorms upstream of the West Point Dam; the weather caused the water level in the reservoir to come close to overflowing the top of the dam. There were allegations of poor forecasting by the Corps of Engineers of the reservoir's water levels.{{Citation needed|date=May 2017}} The flood water would have overflowed the dam had a large amount of water not been released through the [[spillway]] of the dam. Whereas this prevented the catastrophic failure of the West Point Dam, the city endured a flood much more severe than any other in the time since the dam had been built.
 
In the mid-19th century, the Atlanta & LaGrange Railroad was established and soon renamed the [[Atlanta and West Point Railroad|Atlanta & West Point Railroad]], using the name of West Point; the city of [[East Point, Georgia|East Point, Fulton County, Georgia]], received its name for being at the northeastern end of this railroad line. The rail line linked [[metropolitan Atlanta]] with the lower reaches of the Chattahoochee River, with Columbus, and with [[Montgomery, Alabama]], via the [[Montgomery and West Point Railroad|Montgomery & West Point Railroad]].

Passenger service between Atlanta and Montgomery continued, on the "[[West Point Route]]", until approximately the beginning of the [[Amtrak]] era, or more than 100 years (circa 1855&ndash;circa 1970). The Montgomery-to-West Point rail line was completed in 1851, three years before the West Point-to-Atlanta segment. Rail operations were seriously disrupted during the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] (1861–65), as Southern rail lines were subject to [[Union Army]] attacks.

Toward the end of the war, West Point was the scene of the [[Battle of West Point]] (April 16, 1865, seven days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox).

==Geography==
West Point is located primarily in the southwest corner of Troup County, with a portion extending south into the northwest corner of Harris County. It is bordered to the northeast by the city of [[LaGrange, Georgia|LaGrange]], the Troup County seat. The city is bordered to the west by the [[Chattahoochee River]], across which are the cities of [[Lanett, Alabama|Lanett]] and [[Valley, Alabama]]. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|29.2|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|28.9|km2|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.3|km2|order=flip|1}}, or 1.11%, are water.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web |title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): West Point city, Georgia |url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US1382132 |access-date=May 18, 2017 |work=American Factfinder |publisher=U.S. Census Bureau}}{{dead link|bot=medic|date=April 2020}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

[[Interstate 85 in Georgia|Interstate 85]] runs northeast to southwest through the city, leading northeast {{convert|81|mi}} to [[Atlanta]] and southwest {{convert|81|mi}} to [[Montgomery, Alabama]]. Other highways that run through the city include [[U.S. Route 29 in Georgia|U.S. Route 29]], [[Georgia State Route 18]], and [[Georgia State Route 103]].

Batson-Cook Construction was founded in West Point in 1913. It continues to be headquartered in West Point.

West Point Iron Works was founded in West Point three years after the Civil War ended. The company started off as a supplier of individual components, such as pulleys and gears, to nearby textile mills. In the 1930s the company was renamed West Point Foundry and Machine Co. In the 2000s, having been negatively impacted by imports (cloth) the company turned to SEETAC to seek assistance to use the firm's engineering and production expertise to provide products to the U.S. military. The firm also changed its name to West Point Industries to emphasize its broader client base. West Point now also makes component parts for manufacturers in a wide range of industries.
