McDonough/ Locust Grove

Welcome to McDonough, GA

After its establishment in 1823, the town, which was named after naval officer Commodore Thomas Macdonough, is the epitome of Henry County living. Located approximately 30 minutes south of Atlanta on I-75, McDonough was designed in a square. With the county courthouse and historic jail building on the north side (near the Standard Oil service station built in 1920); the town’s original cotton warehouse on the east (now the Henry County Judicial Center) and a confederate monument in the center of the square. The historic town offers a lively mix of business, arts, entertainment, recreation, dining and yearlong festivals. Shopping at Tanger Outlets, Henry Town Center and other major retailers are minutes away from the center of McDonough. The population of over 25,000 residents occupy a blend of upscale mansions, quite popular among young professionals, as well as planned communities for families that are just starting out.
