Chattahoochee Plantation

Sign marking the boundary of the former city of Chattahoochee Plantation. Located along Sope Creek in Cobb County.
The city of Chattahoochee Plantation was incorporated in 1961. Its boundaries were approximately 10 feet wide by 7 miles long. Its sole purpose was to prevent the city of Atlanta from annexing land into Cobb County, and it never organized any actual government. In 1989, the citizens of Sandy Springs attempted to have their area annexed into Chattahoochee Plantation in order to break away from Fulton County. The attempt was thwarted by longtime Georgia House Speaker Tom Murphy, The "city" was unincorporated in 1995.
