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.

Both the mill and the neighborhood, consisting of 98 dwellings (a mixture of single-family and duplex floorplans), were designed by North Carolina architect Joseph Emory Sirrine.

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.

During the historic September 2009 Atlanta floods, Clarkdale Elementary School (part of Cobb County Public Schools) was ruined[further explanation needed] by Noses Creek in the hours after students and faculty evacuated.
