The term “Southern” is constantly part of Georgian vocabulary. Between the rich cuisine, the historical architecture, and the kindness and charm of the inhabitants, Georgians sure do represent “Southern” very well. In fact, we found one Georgian town which is so perfectly Southern, it’s easy to see why it grew in population 153% over this past ten years.
Newnan, Georgia has a population of just over 41,000 people.
Also in the heart of the town is Dunaway Gardens, a magical rock and floral garden, which is the perfect spot to take a moment and slow down like true Southerners do.
