Newnan was first established as county seat of Coweta County (replacing the currently nonexistant town of Bullsboro) in 1828 and was named for North Carolinian General Daniel Newnan. Newnan quickly became a prosperous magnet for professionals such as lawyers and doctors, as well as various merchants. Much of Newnan's prosperity was due to the thriving cotton industry, which relied on slavery. Newnan was largely untouched by the American Civil War, and as a result is still home to much antebellum architecture. During the Atlanta Campaign, Confederate cavalry badly defeated Union forces at the nearby Battle of Brown's Mill.
Newnan was where the infamous lynching, mutilation, burning, and dismemberment of Sam Hose took place in 1899. Newnan was also host to the trial in 1948 of wealthy landowner John Wallace, the first white man in the south to be condemned to death by the testimony of African Americans, two field hands who had witnessed the murder (the victim was a white sharecropper) -- Source: Wikipedia.com
