About Smyrna

Smyrna is a city in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 40,999. Census estimates of 2005 indicate a population of 47,643.

In 1991, after being troubled by an identity crisis, Smyrna began a very successful community redevelopment project known as “The Village Green” to create a well-defined downtown. Included were a large community center and 28,000 square foot public library. There’s also a mixed retail and residential district modeled after a vibrant early 1900s city village, including a square with a fountain. This, and other expansions have revitalized the downtown area and acted as a magnet for further redevelopment throughout the city — including thousands of upscale homes – mostly townhouse and condo communities replacing older neighborhoods. As a result of the redevelopment, and Smyrna’s key location of a residential suburb in the center of metro Atlanta, the population has skyrocketed.

Smyrna is one of the closest suburbs to Atlanta, located near the northern intersection of I-285 and I-75, which is the site of Cumberland, a large business district including the Cobb Galleria, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and Cumberland Mall. It is also near Vinings, Marietta, and Mableton, Sandy Springs and affluent districts of Atlanta known as Buckhead, Northside, and West Paces Ferry. It was also the site of the corporate offices of Home Depot. Glock and the Weather Channel also have headquarters close to the edge of Smyrna. Smyrna is also a short trip to major Atlanta attractions such as Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags Whitewater, and the Georgia Aquarium.

The city operates the Smyrna Public Library. This is the only city-operated library system in Georgia and is separate from the Cobb County Public Library System (CCPLS).
