The region known today as Cobb County is situated on the Piedmont Plateau of north central Georgia. Traveling the modern, bustling streets and highways that criss-cross the country, it is hard to believe the loudest sounds once heard along these routes were the soft footfalls of Creek and Cherokee Indian moccasins. Yet today, the familiar names of Sweetwater, Sope, Allatoona and Kennesaw affirm the native American heritage of an area once dotted with Indian settlements and hunting grounds.

Today Cobb County, Georgia has a population of over 500,000 people and is as diverse in it's culture as it is in it's history.
