Chattahoochee Hills Country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chattahoochee Hills Country is an area located southwest of Atlanta, bordered on the northwest side by the Chattahoochee River. Unlike the rest of metro Atlanta, it is still relatively undeveloped, and most of its almost-rural character remains unspoiled.

The majority of the area comprises the west-southwest part of southern Fulton, and smaller adjacent parts of southern Douglas, eastern Carroll, and northern Coweta counties.

During the 2006 session, the Georgia General Assembly passed a law allowing the Fulton section of the area to incorporate as a "city" (the only type of municipality allowed in Georgia), the only purpose being the complete municipalization of that county. The city would be called Chattahoochee Hills Country, Georgia (unless residents vote to change it) and would be created in late 2007 if a referendum in July 2007 passes. Later annexation could (and in fact would have to) take the new city out into other counties.
