Powder Springs

Powder Springs is a municipality in Cobb County, Georgia located in the southwestern part of the county. The city covers roughly 7.2 square miles across varying terrain and elevations.

The area took its name in 1859 from seven mineral springs whose water left dark powder-like residue on the surrounding soil. These natural sources became the defining feature that shaped the town's identity.

The Walter H. Cantrell Stadium serves as a gathering place for football games and community events that draw residents together. Sporting activities here form part of the local social calendar and everyday life.

Residents can reach city services and report issues through a dedicated mobile app that connects directly to officials. This digital tool makes it easy to communicate with local government for questions and concerns.

The population has a notably high proportion of African American residents who contribute significantly to the community's character. This demographic diversity is a defining aspect of daily life in this area.
