History of Senoia
In the Beginning...
Coweta County (pronounced "Cow-eeta" or
"Ky-eeta" & meaning "water falls") was formed
in Georgia in June 9, 1825 as Chief William McIntosh
signed the Treaty of Indian Springs, for which
he was soon killed by his fellow Creek Indians.
Settlers migrated to the area following the
Fifth Land Lottery of 1827.
Gerrard M. Veal, a minor, received land lot 279,
the 202.5 acres that became present day Senoia.

Another thing for visitors to Senoia to note: Although you might think that Senoia would most likely be pronounced "Seh-noy-yuh", don't be fooled. Locals here simply call it "Seh-noy." If you want to stand out like a sore thumb, feel free to mispronounce Senoia. No one will say anything, but every one will know you are not a "local"!
