Acworth, Georgia

Prior to 1840, the town was known as “Andersonville”. From 1840 to 1843, it was known as Northcutt Station, after the first railroad station master Alfred Northcutt.

The town received its current name in 1843 from Western & Atlantic Railroad engineer Joseph L. Gregg, who named it for his hometown of Acworth, New Hampshire, which was in turn named for English nobleman Lord Acworth. It was incorporated on December 1, 1860.

In November 1864, during the American Civil War, the city was burned down by the army of General W. T. Sherman, sparing only a few homes. The city was called “Little Shanty” by the Union troops, to contrast it with the next town south, “Big Shanty”, since renamed Kennesaw.
