Sandy Springs is a new city with a long history. The city wasn’t incorporated until late 2005; before that, it was considered a rural area despite its sizable population. In fact, it is the third-largest city in the U.S. ever to be incorporated. Before that memorable milestone, Sandy Springs fought annexation by neighboring Atlanta on several occasions.
Sandy Springs attracts visitors and residents who want to be near the hustle and bustle of Atlanta, but not immersed in it. The area boasts warm southern weather, a non-traditional downtown area, and a nice selection of gold and silver dealers.
