Sharpsburg is a small incorporated town in southern Coweta County, Georgia, positioned within the Atlanta metropolitan area roughly 38 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta. With a population of about 330 residents recorded in the 2020 census, it is one of the metro region's smallest municipalities, and that small scale is central to its identity. The town's compact, tree-canopied center and surrounding rural landscape stand in contrast to the larger suburban cities that flank it along the Interstate 85 corridor. Sharpsburg traces its roots to the nineteenth century, when the area served as a crossroads community in a county built on agriculture and, later, textile manufacturing. Much of its early development clustered around what is now the Old Town district, where older homes and mature trees still line the streets. That historic core remains a defining feature, giving the town a settled, established character rather than the newer, master-planned feel common in nearby communities. Economically and socially, Sharpsburg functions as a quiet residential town within the broader Coweta County economy. Many residents commute to jobs in Newnan, Peachtree City, and points north toward Atlanta, while the town itself supports a modest mix of local services and small businesses. The population skews toward families and longtime residents drawn by the combination of small-town pace, county schools, and relatively convenient highway access. Life in Sharpsburg centers on community institutions rather than a large commercial downtown. The town maintains Staley Park and the A & O Bridges Community Center, which host local gatherings, recreation programs, and private events. Residents rely on nearby Newnan for shopping, dining, and regional services, and on Senoia, just to the northeast, for its well-known historic downtown and film-television heritage. The town's rural surroundings and Coweta County open spaces add to its outdoors-oriented, unhurried appeal.
