Have You Heard About Senoia, Georgia?

Senoia, pronounced Seh-noy (like toy - the a is silent), is located in eastern Coweta County of Georgia and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The name Coweta means "water falls" and is pronounced Cow-eeta by the locals. Senoia was incorporated in 1866 and has a population of 2500 plus. The area of Senoia traces back to William McIntosh of the Creek Indians.

Many families from Newberry, South Carolina came to the Senoia area around 1828. The area was rich in agriculture and supported cotton, corn, peaches and livestock. The community was originally known as Willow Dell which was established in 1854. Willow Dell had a post office and was actually located a couple of miles south of the present Senoia downtown location. The current town location was land that was purchased by Reverand Francis Warren Baggerly. Two railroads, Savannah Railroad and Griffin & North Alabama Railroad, ran through this area and was a main shipping point for local crops.

The first building erected was Rock House which was established as a general store or merchantile. It was quickly changed to a commissary for the Confederacy due to the civil war that had recently broken out. Reverand Baggerly was the minister of the first church...a Methodist Episcopal Church. Soon after the war was over a high school was also built in 1865. Architecture from the 1840's still remains visible and add's to the Turn of Century downtown beauty.

Areas of interest in Senoia include The Buggy Shop Museum, Culpepper House Bed & Breakfast, Veranda Bed & Breakfast and Riverwood Movie Studios which produced Fried Green Tomatoes, The War, and Andersonville.
