They probably should have named it for Peter Kolb. At least he lived there.

So funny, I drove past that house every weekday for fifteen years on the way to work and never once thought our county should have been named after Mister Kolb. It is only a few yards back from Powder Springs Road.

Probably the major reason that would not have worked is that Kolb settled here four years after Cobb County was created.
