Clarkdale, Georgia
Clarkdale is an unincorporated community west-northwest of Atlanta, Georgia in southwestern Cobb County. It has a post office with ZIP Code 30111 and is the hometown of novelty and country singer Ray Stevens. Clarkdale began as a mill village built in 1932 to support a spinning mill of the Coats & Clark Thread Company. Both the mill and the neighborhood, consisting of 98 dwellings, were designed by North Carolina architect Joseph Emory Sirrine. The neighborhood boasted many modern conveniences for the time, such as electricity and indoor plumbing. Additionally, residents enjoyed a public swimming pool, a community house for public functions, and a mill-sponsored baseball team. As the mill thrived, the community fostered the growth of several local businesses, a dedicated post office, and two churches, both of which still hold religious services as of 2020. Wikipedia
