Chattahoochee Plantation, Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chattahoochee Plantation is an area of east-southeastern Cobb County, Georgia, which was incorporated as a city in 1961 as a legislated boundary to prevent the city of Atlanta from annexing into Cobb County. Despite this, it never organized a city government, and its city charter was revoked along with dozens of others in 1995.
In 1989, an attempt was made by residents of the large yet unincorporated city of Sandy Springs, just across the Chattahoochee River in Fulton County, to have their area annexed by Chattahoochee Plantation. This, like other attempts to gain city status, was defeated. Tom Murphy, who was powerful speaker of the house in the Georgia General Assembly at the time, blocked the measure.
Chattahoochee Plantation is centered at 33°56'30"N, 84°24'48"W (33.9417, -84.4133), according to the USGS GNIS. [1] The main road through the area is Johnson Ferry Road, with Paper Mill Road and Columns Drive also being significant.
