About
Marietta, Georgia, holds a rich history steeped in Southern charm and heritage. Established in 1834, the city was named in honor of the wife of then-sitting United States Senator and Georgia Supreme Court Judge Thomas Willis Cobb. Nestled in the heart of Cobb County, Marietta played a significant role in the Civil War, serving as a strategic Confederate stronghold during the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in 1864.
The city's historic Marietta Square, with its red-brick streets and well-preserved antebellum architecture, stands as a testament to its enduring heritage. Throughout the years, Marietta has gracefully balanced progress with preservation, maintaining a harmonious blend of modern development and historical significance.
Marietta's Southern roots are evident in its vibrant cultural scene and community traditions. The city's commitment to preserving its heritage can be seen in the Oakton House, the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art, the Gone With the Wind Museum, and the Marietta History Museum.
As Marietta continues to evolve, it remains deeply rooted in its history, with a community proud of its past and optimistic about its future. The city's charm, friendly atmosphere, and dedication to preserving its heritage make Marietta a distinctive destination that welcomes visitors to experience the best of the South.
