Smyrna is a city in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 40,999. Census estimates of 2005 indicate a population of 47,643.
An award-winning community redevelopment project known as “The Village Green” opened its first phase in 1991. Included were a large community center and 28,000 square foot public library. Subsequent expansions have revitalized the downtown area and acted as a magnet for the building of thousands of upscale homes - priced to $1 million - throughout the city. The population was estimated at almost 50,000 in early 2006.
Smyrna is one of the closest suburbs to Atlanta, located near the northern intersection of I-285 and I-75, which is the site of Cumberland Mall, a large commercial district including several shopping centers. It is also near Vinings, Marietta, and Mableton.
Smyrna is located about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia and is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Known as the "Jonquil City", it derives this name from the thousands of jonquils that flourish in gardens and along the streets in early spring. The general terrain of the area is characteristic of the Piedmont region of Georgia, characterized by hills with broad ridges, sloping uplands, and relatively narrow valleys. Smyrna sits at an altitude of about 1,150 feet above sea level.
Transportation
Smyrna is located near three interstate highways: I-75, I-20, and I-285. Downtown Atlanta is a 15-minute drive at off-peak hours via I-75. In addition, several principal arterial roadways, such as Cobb Parkway (U.S. Highway 41), Atlanta Road (Old State Highway 3) and South Cobb Drive (State Highway 280), pass through the municipality.
