Discover Cowarts

Cowarts grew up around its church and school. Cowarts Baptist Church was founded in 1885, when a dispute split the congregation of Smyrna Church. It first stood beside the cemetery but burned in the 1890s, and in January 1894 the Cowarts School moved from its original spot by the cemetery to a new site. The rebuilt church was dedicated on May 1, 1903, in front of the school.

More about Cowarts

On Friday, January 10, 1918, at about 2 p.m., a cyclone struck while school was in session, destroying both buildings and killing seven children and their teacher. The storm cut a 13-mile path across the eastern side of the county, killing 12 people in all and injuring about 120. The church was rebuilt beginning in March 1918 and has stood on the site ever since. Cowarts was incorporated as a town in August 1961.
