Palmetto and Chattahoochee Hills straddle the Coweta–Fulton line; only their Coweta portions are counted here.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nMost rural crossroads and subdivisions use the ZIP of their nearest post office town rather than a code of their own.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nCoweta County sits in the Georgia Piedmont, a belt of rolling hills and red-clay soil between the Appalachian foothills and the coastal plain. The Chattahoochee River forms part of the county’s eastern edge, and several of its tributaries drain the county’s farmland and pine woods. The county borders Fulton County to the northeast, Fayette County to the east, Spalding County to the southeast, Meriwether County to the south, Troup County to the southwest, Heard County to the west and Carroll County to the northwest.<\/p>\n Only Spalding County<\/a>, Meriwether County<\/a>, Troup County<\/a> and Heard County<\/a> have a live townsvillages.com page; Fulton, Fayette and Carroll County pages on this site currently cover the same-named counties in other states, so those three are named here without a link.<\/p>\n Coweta County had 146,158 residents at the 2020 census, up sharply from 127,317 in 2010, making it one of metro Atlanta’s fastest-growing counties. Newnan is by far the largest community at 42,549 people; Senoia is a distant second, having grown fast on the back of film and TV production (much of “The Walking Dead” was shot around its historic downtown). Median household income runs above the Georgia median of $74,632, reflecting the county’s commuter-suburb economy. Population density is roughly 330 people per square mile.<\/p>\n Coweta County’s economy blends Atlanta-commuter suburbs with manufacturing and logistics along the I-85 corridor. Yamaha Motor Manufacturing and Yokohama Tire operate major plants near Newnan, and Piedmont Newnan Hospital anchors the county’s healthcare sector. West Georgia Technical College and a Mercer University regional center serve the area’s students. Senoia’s restored downtown, built on its film-production reputation, draws visitors year-round, and the Coweta County Fair remains a fall staple in Newnan.<\/p>\n Coweta County was created on December 14, 1826, from land ceded by the Creek Nation, and named for the Koweta towns of the Creek people who once lived in the area. Newnan grew up as the county seat almost immediately and later became a Confederate hospital town during the Civil War, largely spared the destruction that hit nearby Atlanta. The county’s history also carries a darker chapter: in 1899, Sam Hose was lynched near Palmetto in one of the most notorious mob killings of the era, an event that helped spur the early anti-lynching movement nationally.<\/p>\n Interstate 85 runs the length of the county from northeast to southwest, with US 27 Alternate, US 29 and several state routes (14, 16, 34, 41, 54, 70, 74, 85, 154, 403) crossing it. Reference distances:<\/p>\n Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, about 35 miles northeast of Newnan, is the nearest major commercial airport.<\/p>\n Where is Coweta County, Georgia?<\/strong> What is the population of Coweta County?<\/strong> How big is Coweta County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Coweta County?<\/strong> How many towns and cities are in Coweta County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Coweta County?<\/strong> |
