The town of Marietta, Georgia, was named after the wife of a prominent local landowner, Colonel Joseph E. Brown. The name is believed to be derived from "Mary," which was a common name during that period, combined with the suffix "-etta" to create a more elegant sound. The town was established in the 1830s and became a significant location during the Civil War. Its name reflects both the personal influence of local figures and the cultural trends of the time.
