The Big Chicken has been the kitschy symbol of Marietta for decades, looming over its intersection like a cartoon Colossus of Rhodes, serving as a guidepoint for directions (“just go a mile past the Big Chicken”).
But how much do you know about its history? Usually there is a link to an article for each question, but in this case all the information used for the quiz came from the same article on the Marietta.com website.
The Cobb County Courier Quiz is a regular feature designed to help readers learn more about Cobb County — its history, local government, and the issues shaping daily life here.
Readers who subscribe to the Courier’s email newsletter receive a daily version of the quiz, delivered straight to their inbox along with the day’s top local headlines. On the main website, the quiz runs as a weekend edition, published Saturdays and Sundays, giving readers more time to explore the questions and dig into the answers.
This quiz is meant to be fun and educational. Looking up answers online or in other sources is encouraged, not discouraged. If you already know the answers, great. If you don’t, that’s the point — the quiz is designed to spark curiosity and help readers better understand the county where they live. Links to source material and background information are provided below each quiz so readers can learn more.
