Quizzes are a good way to learn about the features, culture and history of our county and cities. So for the past year or two I’ve enjoyed putting together quizzes.
I recently decided to expand this into a whole section, Puzzles Games and Quizzes.
Most of the features on that category page will be about Cobb County or its cities, but as I find new types of puzzles to run, some of them will be simple number and word games, and brain teasers.
This quiz tests your knowledge of people who have chaired the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
