More about Acworth Acworth is a city located in Cobb County, Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 13,422. Census estimates of 2003 indicate a very rapidly increasing population of 17,434. Unincorporated areas considered Acworth for mailing purposes also extend into southeast Bartow County and southwest Cherokee County. Oddly, an area which is by far closest to Woodstock, and is on the exact opposite side of Kennesaw from Acworth, is also wrongly considered "Acworth" by the USPS. Incorporated in 1840 on December 1, the town was named by Western & Atlantic Railroad engineer Joseph L. Gregg in 1843 for his hometown of Acworth, New Hampshire, which was in turn named for English nobleman Lord Acworth. The city was known as Northcutt Station from 1840 - 1843, after the first railroad station master Alfred Northcutt. Acworth Beach is located on nearby Lake Allatoona. Acworths nickname is The Lake City. Acworth Demographics As of the census2 of 2000, there are 13,422 people, 5,194 households, and 3,589 families residing in the city.
