 Cobb and Cherokee Counties which include great places like the cities of Kennesaw and Canton, just to name a few, are two of the counties north of Atlanta city proper that make up what is commonly referred to as “Metro Atlanta”. The term Metro Atlanta describes the sprawling layout of the Atlanta region. This region is home to some very recognizable companies such as BellSouth, Coca-Cola, UPS, Hewlett Packard and many more; making it a great place to work as well as live. One of the largest and most populated areas that make up the metropolitan Atlanta area, Cobb County started out as just a suburb of Atlanta. Cobb County can now stand alone as a thriving metropolis offering its own variety of shopping, night life, and dining, as well as parks and entertainment.
