LOST MOUNTAIN
According to the papers of Walter McElreath, Lost
Mountain resident and one of the founders of the Atlanta
History Center, Lost Mountain got its name from an old
Cherokee legend.
In the tale, the beloved daughter of a Cherokee chief eloped
with a member of an enemy tribe the night before she was to
be married to a Cherokee man her father chose for her.
Racked with sorrow, the chief spent the rest of his days
staring at the mountain to which his daughter escaped and
muttering “Lost, lost.”
In a different version of the story, published in the Jan. 29,
1869, edition of the Marietta Journal, the chief kills the suitor
and chases his daughter onto the mountain. When he does not
return, others form a search party and discover that the father
and daughter died together under an oak tree after becoming
lost on the mountain.
MABLETON
The largest unincorporated area in the metro Atlanta area is
named after Robert Mable, who purchased 300 acres of land
in the area in 1843. The city of Mableton was incorporated in
1912, but it was disincorporated just four years later.
TOWN CENTER
This Kennesaw mall is part of a major retail hub in Cobb
County located along Barrett Parkway and nestled between
Interstates 75 and 575.
The shopping spot first opened its doors in February 1986,
and according to an April 1984 MDJ story by Maggie Willis, it
almost had a different name.
