Interesting Acworth Facts:

The Civil War brought "The Great Locomotive Chase" through Acworth in April 1862 when James Andrew's Raiders stole the famous engine, "The General," in nearby Big Shanty. Sherman was headquartered in Acworth for several days. The town was spared the torch until November 1864; many homes and buildings were burned.

In 1950, Lake Allatoona was completed and it, along with Lake Acworth, created recreational opportunities. Today, Acworth is the center of a thriving, vibrant community.
