Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the "City of Gold"'s Gold Dust Park. Easy access from I-20 makes this a quick find.

Villa Rica means "City of Gold" in spanish and this town has a long history centered around this precious metal. The town's website states that Villa Rica actually was founded as the result of a conversation in a Philadelphia tavern in 1823. A group of men was gathered to discuss traveling south in search of gold. From this meeting came the discovery of gold in current day Villa Rica in 1826.

Villa Rica is in the middle of another Gold Rush, this time in the form of real estate. The area is exploding with new housing developments and businesses as Atlanta expands outward.
