Back in the 1830s, settlers began to set up a religious encampment called Smyrna Camp Ground. It was named for one of churches of the Apostle Paul. This made it a popular destination for people who lived in Georgia and the surrounding areas. By the 1840s, it became even more popular as the Western and Atlantic Railroad began coming through and attracting droves of new residents. Unfortunately, most of the homes and businesses in the area burned during the Civil War, but the city was incorporated in 1872 and began to rebuild. Much of that initial growth centered around jobs at Lockheed’s Bell Bomber plantthat produced B-29 bomber planes during World War II.

From upscale eateries to neighborhood pubs, Smyrna and the surrounding area is quickly becoming a foodie paradise for suburbanites. Shopping is also plentiful here, as are beautiful parks and green spaces. In 2017, the Smyrna area will become home to Atlanta’s Major League Baseball team, the Atlanta Braves.
