Cobb County History
Cobb County was named after Judge Thomas Cobb, a US Senator; its largest city and government seat, Marietta, was named after his wife, Mary. This entire section of Georgia was originally Cherokee land. However, in 1832 it was divided into 24 counties, one of which was Cobb. The county remained largely rural until Atlanta’s rise as a major player in the US economy.
Modern Cobb County is a bustling suburb of Atlanta. And like much of this part of Georgia, it has strong ties with the Civil War. The Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, one of the Confederate victories of the War, took place here. Today, Kennesaw Mountain is home to a National Park commemorating the event.
