Automobile buffs might know West Point for the Kia factory it houses but there is a whole lot more to this town than that. West Point is a small town; make no mistake about that. However, it is quite a beautiful town with a relatively low population that continues to attract relocating people by the droves.
West Point derives its name thanks to the nearness of the westernmost point of the famous Chattahoochee River. The resplendent beauty of this river needs no introduction. It's a celebrated name in American pop culture and also one of the biggest attractions for West Point residents. The West Point Lake, which was constructed by US Corps on this river, is a prime spot where you can go fishing, relaxing and even skiing. There is also the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, which is just over half an hour's drive from West Point. You won't get a better setting than this to come face to face with some of the world's exotic animals.
The town is also well-equipped when it comes to educational necessities. The Long Cane Middle School and the Troupe County High School are located in La Grange, both of which serve children from West Point as well as other nearby areas. Recently, Point University announced plans of moving its campus to West Point from its earlier location in East Point. And of course, there is the state-run Columbus University as well.
The culinary options offered by West Point effuse the small-town charm all around. If you've had your fill of the great steaks served by LongHorn, you can head over to Heart of the South Tea Room for a fine buffet style southern meal. If a city-style pizza is what you crave, just dial Johnny's, a place that has quite a fan-following in West Point. But as with most things about West Point, here too there is more than what meets the eye, which is a fact best exemplified by the presence of the Japanese food and Sushi bar named Miso and a barbeque house that serves Korean specialties.
West Point's 3rd Avenue is where you will find most of the town's people shopping. TN's Tiki Tavern is a nice little old style pub where you can enjoy mixed drinks with friends. A more family oriented place though is River's Bend Winery & Vineyard. Not only does the winery offer a great wine tasting experience with its variety of wines and a beautifully set up bar, it has some of the loveliest people you will ever interact with. You can also enjoy different performing arts at the New Horizon Community Theatre and the Nix Dance Studio.
