Historic Family-Friendly Parks Shopping Restaurants

Take a walk along Hiram's Main Street -- still fronted by railroad tracks -- and you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time to 1891, when the sleepy railroad town was established. But while the historic downtown reflects the city's past, this is a fast-growing city with an eye on the future. Located in Paulding County, one of the country's fastest-growing counties, Hiram is roughly 24 miles northwest of Atlanta. It is also a short drive from Sweetwater Creek Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, and Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

While Downtown Hiram features locally-owned boutiques and restaurants, the main shopping district is located along Highway 278, where popular stores and a variety of restaurants fill strip plazas. This is also the location of the AMC Hiram 14 Movie Theater and WellStar Paulding Hospital.
