Conyers, GA is the only city that lies within the confines of Rockdale County.
The name “Rockdale County” was inspired by the granite strata that lie
underneath the soil throughout this area. Rumor has it that Conyers was
spared burning during Sherman’s famous March To the Sea thanks
to a friend of Sherman’s who lived in the area, but who’s exact
whereabouts was unknown. Therefore, Sherman supposedly prohibited his
troops from burning the town so that his friend’s home would remain
intact.
The Monastery of the Holy Spirit was founded in 1944 by 21 Trappist monks from Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky. It is now home to 36 monks who have dedicated themselves to a life of prayer and contemplation. The Monastery is located in southeast Rockdale County on GA Highway 212.
The Georgia International Horse Park opened in 1995 and hosted all equestrian events for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. Annual events at GIHP include Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival, Fabulous Fourth and Big Haynes Creek Wildlife Festival.
