Woodstock

Woodstock is a city in Cherokee County, Georgia, located north of Atlanta, featuring several parks, walking trails, and a downtown business district spread across the landscape. The town blends open green spaces with commercial development, creating different neighborhoods that flow together naturally.

The Georgia General Assembly established Woodstock as a town in 1897, naming it after a Walter Scott novel published in 1826. This founding began the town's development into a growing community north of Atlanta.

The granite Veterans Memorial shapes the town's identity and reflects residents' deep connection to those who served in the military. The inscriptions tell stories of sacrifice that draw community members to pause and pay their respects.

The Greenprints Project has developed hiking trails along Little River and Noonday Creek that connect with broader pathways throughout Cherokee County. Visitors can walk these routes to explore the natural landscape beyond downtown.

A former Louisville and Nashville Railroad depot from 1912 remains as a reminder of when cotton and farm products moved through the town by rail. This building shows how central railroad transportation was to the town's early growth.
