Villa Rica, "The City of Gold", was built upon the bountiful gold found there in 1826. Alongside the celebrity of Coca-Cola legend Asa Candler and gospel music founder Thomas Dorsey. The once-small-town experienced a significant growth boom throughout the early 2000's with its creation of the Mirror Lake subdivision, which significantly increased the number of residences in the area.
