All contiguous land lots located west of the Chattahoochee River marked with River Line earthworks on the Cobb County Civil War trench inventory map are included in the River Line Historic Area.
------------------------
The River Line Historic Area derives its name from Johnston's River Line - a 6 to 7 mile line of Civil War trenches and forts along the Chattahoochee River named after Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, who authorized its construction.
Johnston's River Line is particularly significant due to its unique fortifications called Shoupades, a worldwide exclusive to Cobb County designed by Confederate Brigadier General Francis A. Shoup.
The Cherokee Indians occupied the land that would become Cobb County during the 1832 land lottery, then populated by European farmers and evolving into the diverse culture of today.
