moving to Covington, GA

And I think I may know where that is coming from- the KKK used to own the land where Stone Mountain Park is situated. They gave over the land with an understanding that they could continue to explore their "beliefs" at the park. They now hold demonstrations in downtown Stone Mountain Village (near the park) having given up their ability to sue and fight to keep coming to the actual park site.

Again- not in Covington (KKK).

If anyone out there knows about this story (which I heard at scout camp last weekend from a history professor from this area), please add or subtract from this.

Thanks.

Hi Nancy? I am suppose to re-locate to Covington within the next few weeks...my kids and I. I have neve been there and have absolutely no clue about anything. I am moving there because of an opportunity I have been afforded. I have childcare concerns, schools for my kids and myself. employemnt etc. I have been seeking employment online, no luck so far. as they are doing great here in California. Please help.

Even though those commentsabout kk are posted long time ago, I want to say that yes there is kkk in covington. I lived in covington all my life. My mother, father, grandparents and even i remember kkk rallies on the sqare in covington. they stopped doing it because they didnt want to show their faces. but they still hold meetings in covington, in secret. Just to let you know, covington is also heavy in satanic organizations. So if you think covington is a great place to live think again, even aside from all that, school system is terrible, too many houses and too little jobs. covington is terrible

I've lived in Covington all my life of 30 years, while they once held KKK rallies here they also held them in almost every other rural county in GA and just as they are held in secret here (as you say) they are held in secret in most other places as well (as you say) and as far as the satanic thing you seem way out in left field most of us here are christian as far as I know, and the demographics have changed for the KKK to even want to meet here anymore with about 35-40% of the county being minority and transplants and if I remember correctly they had the last meeting in the late 80's or early 90's talking about keeping up on current events which you should do instead of bashing our hometown, if it's that bad why are you still here and if you remember the KKK rallies you are grown and can leave whenever, you should really read the local newspaper if you really do live in Covington and see how it's changed since then and the school system is average not terrible and our population went from 62,000 in the year 2000 to an estimated 101,000 in 2009 so obviously the new 39,000 people that moved here in the last 9 years think otherwise or else they wouldn't have moved here or they would have moved from here.
