Overview
Cobb County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. It was
created December 3, 1832 by the State of Georgia from land it confiscated
from the Cherokee Nation and redistributed to settlers via lottery
following the passage of the federal Indian Removal Act.[1] As of
the 2000 census, the population is 607,751. The county's population
continues to grow. The 2006 estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau put
the population at 679,325. Its county seat is Marietta6, located in
the center of the county.
The county was named for Judge Thomas Willis
Cobb, who in the early 19th century was a United States Representative
and Senator from Georgia. He also served as a judge of the Superior
Court of Georgia.
The county is part of the core Atlanta metropolitan
area, which is included in the AtlantaSandy SpringsMarietta,

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of
345 square miles (892 km²), of which, 340 square miles (881 km²)
of it is land and 4 square miles (11 km²) of it (1.27%) is water.
The county is divided between two major watersheds.
Most runoff flows into the Chattahoochee River (along the southeastern
border), via Willeo Creek, Sope Creek, Rottenwood Creek, Nickajack
Creek, and Sweetwater Creek. A ridge from Lost Mountain in the west,
to Kennesaw Mountain in the north, to Sweat Mountain in the extreme
northeast, divides the far north-northwest of the county into the
Lake Allatoona area, including the northward-flowing Noonday Creek.

runs along the border with Cherokee County
