History: The town was named after Scottish immigrant Robert Mable (1803-1885), who on September 11, 1843, bought 300 acres of land in southern Cobb County from the Georgia Land Lottery of 1832. Mable was a millwright and farmer who grew cotton, corn, potatoes, and sorghum. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes including Cherokee and Creek, with settlements called Sweet Water Town and Nickajack. During the Civil War, Union officers Walter Q. Gresham and Francis P. Blair Jr. reached Mableton on July 3, 1864, after the Union defeat at Kennesaw. The Georgia Pacific Railway opened a railroad station in Mableton in December 1881.
