A RESOLUTION

Recognizing March 20, 2025, as Mableton Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Mableton, Georgia, a vibrant community located in Cobb County, was officially incorporated as a city following a successful referendum on November 8, 2022, making it the largest city in Cobb County with a population of almost 80,000 residents; and

WHEREAS, the city was named after Scottish immigrant Robert Mable, who purchased land in the area in 1843, and established a farm that would later become central to the community's growth, with the historic Robert Mable House and Cemetery now serving as an iconic cultural landmark and part of the Mable House Complex that hosts public performances and events; and

WHEREAS, Mableton's early development was shaped by the arrival of the Georgia Pacific Railway, which constructed a train depot in 1881, spurring economic growth and transforming the area into a vital commercial hub for then rural Cobb County; and

WHEREAS, the community benefits from its strategic location along major highways, including Interstates 20 and 285, providing convenient access to Atlanta and supporting the city's continued growth, as well as being the home to Six Flags over Georgia; and

WHEREAS, Mableton is further known for its 5-mile stretch of the Silver Comet Trail, a long paved path designed for walking, biking, and jogging that runs through the area, as well as having more than five miles of river frontage that it shares with the City of Atlanta; and

WHEREAS, Mableton continues to experience growth and revitalization as well as uphold its commitment to fostering economic development, enhancing community engagement, and advancing technology innovation and environmental sustainability; and

WHEREAS, the citizens of Mableton take great pride in their city's history, progress, and contributions to Georgia, making it abundantly fitting and proper to celebrate this exemplary community during this special time.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize March 20, 2025 as Mableton Day at the state capitol. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
