Marietta, GA
Marietta's historic town square, Glover Park, has anchored the city's downtown since before the Civil War, and much of the surrounding commercial and residential architecture survived the broader destruction of the Atlanta campaign in 1864, giving Marietta one of the better-preserved concentrations of antebellum and Reconstruction-era buildings in the immediate Atlanta area. The Marietta National Cemetery, established in 1866, is the final resting place for more than 10,000 Union soldiers who died during the Atlanta campaign, and it sits alongside the nearby Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, giving the city a genuine concentration of Civil War historical sites within its immediate vicinity. The "Big Chicken," a roughly 56-foot-tall chicken-shaped building constructed in 1963 to house a fried chicken restaurant, has become one of the most recognizable and affectionately regarded local landmarks in the entire Atlanta area, reportedly used for decades by NASA as a navigational reference point for astronauts flying into nearby Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Marietta's combination of a well-preserved historic town square, significant Civil War-era sites, and its genuinely beloved oversized-chicken roadside landmark has made it one of the more distinctive and historically layered suburbs anywhere in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.
VS
Dunwoody, GA
Dunwoody sits in north DeKalb County and, following the example set by neighboring Sandy Springs a few years earlier, incorporated as its own independent city in 2008 after decades as an unincorporated area governed directly by DeKalb County — part of the same broader wave of north Atlanta "cityhood" incorporations that reshaped local governance across the region in the 2000s and 2010s. Perimeter Center, a major office, retail, and hotel district anchored by Perimeter Mall along Interstate 285, sits substantially within Dunwoody's borders and has developed into one of the largest employment centers in the entire Atlanta metro area, giving the young city a significant corporate tax base well beyond a typical residential-only suburb. The MARTA Dunwoody station, opened in 1996 along the North Line, gives the community direct rapid-transit access into downtown Atlanta, a genuine convenience relative to many of the area's more car-dependent northern suburbs that lack any direct rail connection at all. Dunwoody's combination of a relatively young but consequential municipal incorporation, a major regional employment and retail center in Perimeter Center, and direct MARTA rail access has made it one of the more economically significant and closely watched of Atlanta's recently incorporated suburban cities.
