Editing Senoia, Georgia (section)

== History ==
The first permanent settlement in the area was made in 1860 by Rev. Francis Warren Baggarly. In 1864, around the time residents of the nearby Willow Dell community began to arrive, the settlement was named Senoia. A number of the area's first structures appeared this year, such as a mercantile building known as the Rock House and a Methodist Episcopal church led by Baggarly. A high school would open in 1865. Senoia was officially incorporated as a city on December 12, 1866.<ref>{{cite book | url=http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/s.pdf| title=Georgia Place-Names: Their History and Origins | publisher=Winship Press | author=Krakow, Kenneth K. | year=1975 | location=Macon, GA | pages=203 | isbn=0-915430-00-2}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url= https://www.senoia.com/community/page/history-senoia-georgia | title=History of Senoia, Georgia| publisher=Senoia Area Historical Society | author=Unknown | year=2021 | location=Senoia, GA | pages=1}}</ref>
