Smyrna was first known as Ruffs Siding and later Varners Station. Eventually, the name Smyrna was given to the campground area. The name "Smyrna" is found in the Bible's book of Revelation as the name of one of Paul the Apostle's seven churches in Asia.
Smyrna is located about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia and is considered an integral part of the Metro Atlanta area. Known as the "jonquil City", it derives this name from the thousands of jonquils that flourish in gardens and along the streets in early spring.
Smyrna has so much to offer its residents, the fact that it is just a 15-minute drive from downtown Atlanta, yet free of the congestion is just one of the many features. It also has a revitalized and active new downtown area "The Village Green" which includes a new library, community center, retail development and mixed-use development, city hall and charming homes.
New homes in Smyrna are priced from the $300’s to $1 million’s, located in charming neighborhoods with a vast array of amenities for residents and businesses. Many of the neighborhoods provide parks, jogging trails, pools, lighted tennis courts, public golf courses and much more.
The City of Smyrna has developed a reputation for smart growth and revitalization and was recently awarded the Urban Land Institute’s Award for Excellence. The City of Smyrna, for more than a decade, has been in the business of reinventing itself and setting the standard for community.
With an average temperature of 61.4 degrees, the climate is very favorable consisting of warm summers and moderate winters. Between these seasons, the Smyrna area is decorated with thousands of jonquils blooming in the spring and a colorful change of leaves in the fall.
Another important attribute of Smyrna is its location. Being a citizen of Smyrna means having ready access to several different methods of conveyance. The City is strategically located near three interstate and intrastate highway systems: and Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport is only a 30-minute drive away.
Smyrna has proven over the years why it is such a great place to live and raise a family. Smyrna itself offers a small town feeling, where people still know your name, but close enough to Atlanta to provide an outlet, a weekend getaway, or just a chance to catch a game.
