Established in 1891 as a sleepy, rural railroad town, the City of Hiram has progressed into the major commercial corridor for Paulding County, one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. Just a short drive northwest of Atlanta, Hiram blends the best of the past, present, and future. Hiram’s downtown business district offers a more relaxed, nostalgic dining and shopping experience while only a moment away from an impressive and growing variety of modern conveniences, including shopping, dining, and entertainment.
