History

Cobb County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is situated in the north-central part of the state and is a part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The county was named after Thomas Willis Cobb, a U.S. representative and senator from Georgia. Cobb County has a rich history that spans several centuries. Here's an overview of its history:

  • Early History: The area that is now Cobb County was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Cherokee and Creek peoples. European settlement began in the late 18th century when pioneers moved into the region. In 1832, the state of Georgia enacted the Treaty of Cusseta, which resulted in the removal of the Cherokee from the area.
  • Formation of Cobb County: Cobb County was created on December 3, 1832, by the Georgia General Assembly. It was carved out of the original Cherokee County, which itself had been created just a few years earlier in 1830. The county was named in honor of Thomas Willis Cobb, a distinguished Georgia politician.
