About Coweta County

Coweta County is a fast-growing community that combines a bustling, entrepreneurial spirit with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere. With just over 115,000 residents in 2006, Coweta County has a median household income of just over $65,000 annually, a high-school graduation rate of over 80%, and 78% home ownership.  

Coweta residents – both newcomers and those with deep roots here — are committed to smart growth and maintaining a high quality of life. The community’s proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and to the city of Atlanta makes this an idea location for businesses of all sizes and types.  

Coweta County was once part of the Creek Indian Nation. The county is named for the Creek tribe headed by William McIntosh, Jr. - the half Scot, half-Creek who relinquished lands to the federal government in the 1825 Treaty of Indian Springs. McIntosh was slain by an irate group of fellow Creeks at this home on the Chattahoochee River .

Today Coweta County is home to over 97,000 residents and continues to see an explosion in residential and commercial growth.
