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.

Downtown Smyrna is home to Village Green, which is where the Community Center, the library, and arboretum reside. It is a focal point where people come together. The Market Village is the heart of downtown and "social center" of Smyrna and sits adjacent to the "Village Green." The 20th Century Veterans Memorial rests between the Village Green and the Market Village.
