They are like family and have never worried about my child being there! Class sizes are small enough so it doesn’t feel like a huge place where my child is a number yet is treated like one of their own children or grandchildren. Neat and clean and lots of fun activities for all ages all the time.

History

Cowet County Courthouse

Heart of Newnan Motel, 1960s postcard.

Newnan was established as the county seat of Cowat County (replacing the defunct city of Bullsboro) in 1828 and was named for North Carolina General Daniel Newnan. It quickly became a magnet for lawyers, doctors, other professionals, and merchants. Much of Newnan’s prosperity was due to its thriving cotton industry, which relied on slavery.

Newnan was largely untouched by the Civil War due to its hospital city status (for both Union and Confederate troops), and still has much antebellum architecture as a result. Famed architect Kennon Perry designed many of the 20th-century houses in the city. During the Atlanta campaign, Confederate cavalry defeated Union forces at the nearby Battle of Brown’s Mill.

On April 23, 1899, an infamous lynching took place after an African American named Sam Hawes (born Tom Wilks) was accused of killing his boss, Alfred Cranford. Hawes was kidnapped from police custody, passed through Newnan, tortured, and burned alive north of town by a vigilante mob of approximately 2,000 Cowet County citizens.

Also in Newnan in 1948 was the trial of wealthy landowner John Wallace, the first white man in the South to be sentenced to death on the testimony of two African American field workers who were forced to help burn the body of a murdered white sharecropper. Wilson Turner. These events were depicted in the novel Coweta County Murder . The film version starred Johnny Cash, Andy Griffith and June Carter.

In 1968, Kmart opened a warehouse in Newnan, which gradually turned it into a major distribution center in the area. Around this time, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters attempted to unionize the warehouse, but this attempt was defeated when employees voted 329against 201 for staying out of unions. In 2015, the distribution center closed with the loss of 164 jobs.

In the early hours of March 26, 2021, Newnan was directly impacted by a massive EF4 tornado, causing significant structural damage and one death. The tornado is one of the strongest in the history of Georgia since 1950, it directly affected the historical center of the city.

Arts and Culture

The city is one of the few counties in Georgia with a museum dedicated primarily to African American history. The Cahueta County African American Heritage Museum and Research Center, or Caswell House, opened in July 2003 in a donated country house once owned by Ruby Caswell. The museum is located on Farmer Street in an old, unmarked slave cemetery. He collected hundreds of family genealogical records by interviewing residents and reviewing census records. The museum also houses Coweta’s census numbers from 1870 to 1920 years.

The first black library in the area was the Sarah Fisher Brown Library. Built in the 1950s, the library has since been transformed into a Community Development Action Center.

Farmer Street Cemetery is the largest slave cemetery in the South and possibly the largest intact cemetery in the country. It is within the city limits of Newnan.
