Cobb County, Georgia
Cobb County sits just north of Atlanta, where suburban communities have steadily expanded into areas that were once more rural. Marietta serves as the county seat and has a distinct local character, including the famous Big Chicken landmark.
The Chattahoochee River forms much of the county’s eastern border, providing a natural contrast to the surrounding suburban development. Cobb County has become increasingly diverse and continues to attract Atlanta commuters, longtime residents, and newcomers from across the country.
The county is named after Thomas Willis Cobb, a former senator and political leader. Today, Cobb County blends historic sites, Civil War battlefields, major business districts, and modern attractions such as Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. The result is a mix of established neighborhoods, growing suburbs, and large commercial centers closely tied to the Atlanta metropolitan area.
