About Marietta

A large suburb of Atlanta’s metropolitan area, Marietta is a city in northwestern Georgia. With a unique, southern flavor, Marietta is an interesting to live, work, or visit. Plenty of parks and recreational facilities along with a full calendar of community events make Marietta a wonderful place to raise a family.

One of the first settlements in this region of Georgia, Marietta was here before white settlers reached much of the surrounding area. What started as a small group of settlements not far from a local Cherokee tribal community soon grew into a bustling railroad town. As Cherokee natives were pushed away from the area, the state government of Georgia at the time claimed this land in an act that today is frowned upon as a negative point in history. This was part of the historic Trail of Tears, and the Cherokee tribes were removed and forced from their land. Nevertheless, Marietta grew and became a military base during the Civil War. For those who are interested in more of Marietta’s rich history, the Marietta History Museum is worth visiting.

Fast forward to modern day Marietta and you’ll see a beautiful southern town with a lot to offer its residents, and tourists too. There is so much to do in Marietta. Families that live here love all of the community events and local entertainment that is always available to them. From a beautiful and well-maintained parks system to a calendar full of community events, Marietta boasts a high quality of life for those that live here today.

The Marietta Theatre features weekly performances and shows by artists, musicians, and actors alike. A vibrant open mic night can be enjoyed weekly at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre, and lunchtime Brown Bag Concerts are held in Marietta Square during the spring and summer months. Local artists enjoy the positive environment that the community provides, and families love taking their kids to these cultural events.

With over thirty-five public parks and recreational facilities, Marietta has a lot to offer families looking to teach their children the value of an active and healthy lifestyle. The Aviation Baseball and Softball Complex hosts local leagues of both children and adults, with weekly practices and games during the spring and summer months.
