This page is somewhat misleading. Consider the following: "Because it was built on seven hills, Rome, Georgia, is named for Rome, Italy, which was also originally built on seven hills." More specifically, the 5 founders of Rome each chose a name for the city and put it in a hat. Daniel R. Mitchell put the name Rome in the hat because of the seven hills. And his name was the one pulled out of the hat. So the relevance of the seven hills was a deciding factor in its naming, but so was the luck of the draw. The details of this are documented at the following location: http://romegeorgia.com/sevenhills.html.
