Senate Resolution 273
By: Senator James of the 28th
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 approximately 47,000 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 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 Interstate 285, providing convenient access to Atlanta and supporting the city's economic and residential growth; and
WHEREAS, Mableton is further known for its proximity to the Silver Comet Trail, a long paved path designed for walking, biking, and jogging that runs through the area, as well as the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area; and
WHEREAS, Mableton continues to experience growth and revitalization as well as uphold its commitment to fostering economic development, enhancing community engagement, and preserving its rich historical heritage; 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 SENATE that the members of this body recognize March 20, 2025, as Mableton Day at the state capitol. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
