Marietta is the county seat for Cobb and has a delightful downtown square with festivals, restaurants, theater and quirky shops. Just outside downtown is the best of suburban life, including top education, parks, and sports complexes.
Marietta is only 18 miles northwest of Atlanta and is known for its southern hospitality, arts and culture, parks and recreation, and historic sites. Anchored by Glover Park on the historic square, Marietta hosts many festivals and concerts throughout the year. Surrounding the square are unique shops, restaurants, live theater, and county government offices. The heart of the city is also home to beautiful antebellum homes with gorgeous southern landscapes. Local museums and historical sites include the Marietta Museum of History, Cobb County Youth Museum, Marietta Gone with the Wind Museum, Marietta National Cemetery, and Marietta Confederate Cemetery.
