Frequently Asked About Villa Rica

Villa Rica straddles Carroll and Douglas counties and has grown into one of West Georgia's fastest-developing small cities. The Mirror Lake / Tributary master-planned communities, growing Mill District restaurant row, and gold-mining heritage anchor the experience.

Villa Rica was the birthplace of Georgia's gold rush in the 1820s. Today it is known for the Mill amphitheater, Pine Mountain Gold Museum, and a downtown that has gone from quiet crossroads to weekly-event destination.

Villa Rica is about 32 miles west of downtown Atlanta on I-20, roughly a 45-minute drive.
