From Wikipedia:
Jonesboro is a city in Clayton County, Georgia, United States. The population was 4,724 as of the 2010 census. The city is the county seat of Clayton County.
The city's name was originally spelled Jonesborough.[citation needed] During the Civil War, the final skirmish in the Atlanta Campaign was fought here south of Atlanta, cutting off the city and forcing the mayor of Atlanta to surrender at Marietta in early September 1864. The final fall of Atlanta in the Battle of Jonesborough ended up being a decisive point in the nation's history, propelling Abraham Lincoln to re-election two months later, and continuing the war until the Confederacy finally surrendered the following year.
MARTA and Xpress GA/Georgia RTA buses serve the city.

How would u compare Jonesboro to Mcdonough? Moving to this area from Oklahoma.

[@ljuan5000]

How do the elementary schools compare?

[@marksreviewsandrants8554]

@@ljuan5000 now both of them are real crowded they're building too much here in McDonough now, when we moved here in 93 there was no Walmart nearby QuikTrip or Lowe's, they're just building too much it's too much traffic here now it was like country when it first moved here, I do not know really a good place to move unless you go south of here but then years from now it will be crowded too with all the new buildings.

@@marksreviewsandrants8554 Thanks! Real good to know. I wanna be close to airport and good schools but I'd rather be in a very small area. Thx 4 helping with my search. I probably will be looking south of there. And like u said, history will still repeat itself lol. I should have land by then though. Thx again!!

@@ljuan5000 no problem, I wish this area would have stayed country like it was when we first moved here there is just too much traffic and too many wrecks now.

Be careful in this city. The slogan: Go to Jonesboro on vacation, leave on probation. I lived here for 5 years. It is a beautiful little town, but the local police will lock you up if you spit on the sidewalk.
