LOST MOUNTAIN…
COBB’S NEXT CITY?
In March, a handful of lawmakers and government shakers proposed plans to create the city of Lost Mountain in
West Cobb. The idea, they said, was to preserve the semi-rural nature of west Cobb and keep the history of the Lost
Mountain area from being, well, lost.
Although development has encroached the area – which includes Harrison, Hillgrove and Allatoona high
schools – there are still efforts to preserve its history, as this photo of the old Lost Mountain Store proves. The
historic landmark still operates today, only as a branch of United Community Bank.
