Smyrna GA Auto, Home & Business Insurance

The “Jonquil City,” Smyrna takes its name from the Bible’s Book of Revelation; it’s the name of one of Paul the Apostle’s seven churches in Asia.

The railroad once played a fairly significant role in Smyrna’s development. In 1836 the construction of a railroad began through Cobb County, and by the date of its completion in 1842, the railroad had grown Smyrna from a frontier village to a growing community. Gristmills and factories also sprang up in the 1840s, and both of these played a prominent role in the early growth of the community.

Smyrna is known the home of the Christian martyr Polycarp. Smyrna is located about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia, and is considered an integral part of the Metro Atlanta area. Strategically located near three interstate and intrastate highway systems – I-75, I-20, and I-285 – Smyrna is a great place to stay for easy access to metro Atlanta’s major attractions, such as Truist Park, Georgia Aquarium, Six Flags Over Georgia, the Silver Comet Trail and many more.
