Newnan, Georgia
From 1990 - 93, I served as Assistant City Manager with the City of Newnan, Georgia. Newnan is located in the southwest corner of the Atlanta metropolitan area, but maintains a distinct identity based on Ante Bellum charm.
Newnan is often described as a city with small-town charm, historic character, and friendly people. As the city continues to grow and prosper, the sense of community, uniqueness, and appeal is still alive and well.
The City of Newnan was incorporated in 1828 and is named for General Daniel Newnan, a North Carolina native, who was a soldier and later became Georgia Secretary of State and a United States Congressman.
The growth and development of Newnan is largely attributed to the close proximity of Atlanta. Coweta County is located about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta on Interstate 85. Newnan has approximately 27,000 residents and encompasses 19 square miles. The city’s population is projected to continue to rapidly grow over the next several years.
