History

The area was previously incorporated as a city in 1961 in order to serve as a legislated boundary to prevent the city of Atlanta from annexing into Cobb County. Despite this, Chattahoochee Plantation never organized a city government, and its city charter was revoked in 1995. At that time, Chattahoochee Plantation was ten feet (3 m) wide and approximately seven miles (11 km) long at certain points.[2]

In 1989, an attempt was made by nearby Sandy Springs, in Fulton County, to have their area annexed by Chattahoochee Plantation in order to function as an independent city from Atlanta. This, like other attempts to gain city status, was defeated when Tom Murphy, speaker of the house in the Georgia General Assembly, blocked the measure.

Chattahoochee Plantation includes gated communities, riverfront homes along Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and private golf courses, including Atlanta Country Club.[3][4]
