Love Here

Where a person chooses to put down roots says a lot about them. Our values, personality, preferences, and lifestyle are stated publicly by where we choose to live, maybe more than we care to admit. The emotions connected to ‘home’ are powerful and the attachments to our neighborhoods can last a lifetime. At least that’s how it use to be…

… but the recent push towards globalization and a flat world has a cost. Uniformity and mobility have created many towns and neighborhoods that look and feel the same. Have we become citizens of the world at the expense of being citizens of where we live? It doesn’t have to be this way. We can think globally and live locally at the same time. We are here to show you how to do both in Woodstock, Georgia.

The Promise of Saturday

Is there anything better than waking on Saturday, refreshed and ready to enjoy your neighborhood, your family, friends, and town? More than any other day, Saturdays represent the “life” in our lives. Love where you live.

From Monday through Friday, our lives are filled with the go-go-go drumbeat that takes us from work to meetings to sports practices and everything in between. But on Saturdays? Saturdays are the days when we get to march to the beat of our own drum. We make our own music. Saturdays are the days during which we actually get to live. They are the days when we can explore our neighborhoods, spend time with our families, our friends, and take advantage of all of the wonderful things our communities have to offer.

We want to help fulfill the promise of Saturday. We want to put some life back into our lives! Whether you spend your Saturdays at the local Farmer’s Market, taking a stroll through the park, playing soccer with your kids, or enjoying a quiet dinner out with someone special, they are the days when we truly live. We want to show you how to love where you live. Long live Saturdays!

Brief History of Woodstock, Georgia

Woodstock is over one hundred years old and is one of Cherokee County’s oldest cities. The railroad came to Woodstock in November 1879. The City had a population of about 300 and comprised a total of 960 acres. The abundance of water power around Woodstock, such as Little River, Noonday Creek, and other streams, facilitated the gristmills, wood carving, yarn spinning and other related activities.

There are many different stories of how Woodstock got its name. One possibility is that it derived from a novel of the same name by Sir Walter Scott. There is also one tale that a man named Mr. Woodstock settled in the area and started a school, thus giving the community its name.

Today, the City of Woodstock is the fastest growing city in Cherokee County. With the growth rate of Woodstock at 70% over the past 10 years, the city has doubled in size. With Interstate 575 and State Highway 92 running diagonally and directly through the heart of Woodstock, there are unlimited possibilities for those who live and work in Woodstock and Cherokee County.
