History: East Cobb was developed as a suburb of Atlanta beginning in the 1960s, growing rapidly as families sought excellent schools and quality neighborhoods outside the city. In contrast to other northern suburbs of Atlanta like Sandy Springs and Johns Creek, East Cobb has remained unincorporated. Residents of East Cobb typically hold a Marietta address, although they are outside Marietta city boundaries. The idea of incorporating East Cobb as a city was first seriously discussed in 1998 by then Cobb County chairman Bill Byrne, and the issue resurfaced in 2019 when state representative Matt Dollar submitted legislation for East Cobb cityhood. The Georgia Senate passed the measure on February 10, 2022, setting up a referendum vote in May 2022. If incorporated, East Cobb would have been the largest city in Cobb County and second-largest in Metro Atlanta behind Atlanta. However, the referendum failed with 73% voting no, effectively ending the cityhood effort.
