Cobb County, Georgia, was originally one of the ten northwest Georgia counties that were part of Cherokee Indian lands. It was made a county in 1832 and named for Superior Court judge and U.S. Senator Thomas Willis Cobb. Cobb County is currently located in the Atlanta metropolitan area in the north-central portion of Georgia. The population of Cobb County was 766,149 as of the 2020 Census. The County seat is Marietta. Cobb County sits directly to the northwest of Atlanta. Cobb County is among the top 100 highest-income counties in the United States, ranked as the “least obese County in Georgia” in 2017, and 2003 was ranked as the most educated County in Georgia.
The government in Cobb County is considered a “home rule,” which gives the county government free rein to legislate on all matters within the County. Of course, that home rule provision is provided as long as legislation does not conflict with state or federal laws. Dobb County has a five-member board of commissioners, and the chairman is elected county-wide. The board hires a county manager to oversee day to day operation of the County and other administrative officials are elected.
In 2020, the chairman of the Cobb County Republicans and another person challenged the election results to remove 16,024 voters from eligibility to vote in the runoff election for two Georgia Senators. This fight gave Cobb County notoriety in the turmoil surrounding the election defeat of Donald Trump.
