 Newnan is often described as a city with small-town charm, historic character, and friendly people. As the city continues to grow and prosper, the sense of community, uniqueness, and appeal is still alive and well.
The City of Newnan was incorporated in 1828 and is named for General Daniel Newnan, a North Carolina native, who was a soldier and later became Georgia Secretary of State and a United States Congressman.
The growth and development of Newnan is largely attributed to the close proximity of Atlanta. Coweta County is located about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta on Interstate 85. Newnan has approximately 27,000 residents and encompasses 19 square miles. The city’s population is projected to continue to rapidly grow over the next several years.
 Though Newnan is home to many fine office developments and commercial areas, our historic downtown remains vibrant and has a variety of services, specialty shops, and restaurants available. The City’s $3.5 million downtown Streetscapes Project included improvements such as sidewalks, curbs, landscaping, and lighting. The city has also completed Streetscapes projects on Temple Avenue and Greenville Street, and two new parks have recently been built downtown. The Newnan Coweta Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Development Authority, the city's Business Development Office, and the Coweta County Development Authority are all dedicated to improving the local economy and enhancing the quality of life in Newnan. Our mild climate, progressive economy, and strategic location make Newnan an ideal environment for business, industry, and commerce. We provide many of the amenities of a metropolitan area while retaining the small town charm and atmosphere of our heritage.

Successful community gardens require strategic planning, solid organization , sound management, and well thought out rules and guidelines.
If you are interested in starting a community garden in the city, please visit http://www.communitygarden.org or see their "10 Steps to Starting a Community Garden" document.

The Census determines how billions of dollars are distributed for important needs like healthcare, schools, roads and other public needs. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that Georgia will receive about $1700 per person counted, for each year for ten years as a result of our Census count – that’s $1.66 Billion! In addition, the Census determines how many Congressional Representatives that Georgia will have for the next decade.
When you complete the Census, your information is secure. The U.S. Census may not share this information with any individual, agency or organization for over 70 years! Filling out the Census is easy – it’s only ten short questions, and takes about 10 minutes to complete. And, filling out the Census is essential to Georgia and local communities. For more information about the U.S. Census and how it relates to Georgia, visit the Georgia Census web site at http://census.georgia.gov/.
