Marietta is characterized by its distinguished history and drive for community support. Found in 1834, this Cobb county town has quickly evolved from a traditional "old town" into a place where a modern quality of life is embraced. Downtown Marietta, better known as the Marietta Square, is the picturesque heart of Marietta that hosts many local events, including free concerts and a weekly farmers market. It goes without saying that there’s something for everyone in Marietta.
