Ernest W. Barrett

Ernest W. Barrett

Ernest W. Barrett was the first chairman of the new county commission in Cobb County, Georgia, after the Georgia General Assembly enacted home rule legislation in the early 1960s. Barrett was also a former trustee of Kennesaw State University.

The Barrett family owned a large portion of land southeast of Kennesaw, which is now Town Center at Cobb, a major shopping center and now a major shopping and business region in north-central Cobb. Interstate 75 and later Interstate 575 now both cross this land as well, and Noonday Creek runs east and north across it.

Barrett Parkway, in front of the mall, bears his name and was extended west and southwest of U.S. 41 during the 1990s to connect with Ridgeway Road (now Barrett Parkway) to S.R. 120 (Dallas Highway, west of Marietta). The name was later extended in 2003 down Ridgeway to Villa Rica Road.
