Senoia, Georgia
Population: 1,738
Located in Coweta County
Senoia, Coweta's second largest town, is known far and wide as a furniture mecca; closer to home, it has attracted a large number of artists, and has a vibrant community, active historical society, small library, and a close proximity to the shopping of Peachtree City. Senoia has truly boomed in the past few years, as more and more subdivisions pop up, land is annexed, and people buy and remodel the city's historic homes. The city has a good bit of commercial growth itself, including a just completed shopping center.
After the civil war, Senoia saw the completion of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, which crossed through the town. Agricultural products such as cotton and peaches were shipped by rail from Senoia. Senoia was officially incorporated as a city on December 12, 1866. Pride in their town was very evident, as the citizens aspired to have the county seat moved there in 1876. Their bid was unsuccessful. Today with its collection of architectural treasures, most of the town comprises a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Senoia was officially chartered as a city around 1905, about the same time the railways moved in. The city still features architecture from all those periods - including structures dating to the 1840s - with most of architecture from the city's charming downtown dating from the turn of the century.
