The Leo Frank case took place in the region of Cobb County, Georgia. Cobb County is located in the north-central part of the state, just northwest of the city of Atlanta. This region is known for its strong agricultural presence, with farms and plantations being prominent in the area during the early twentieth century when the case occurred. The small town of Marietta, within Cobb County, was where the National Pencil Company, where Frank worked as a superintendent, was located. The events surrounding the case, including the murder of Mary Phagan, the subsequent arrest and trial of Leo Frank, and the trial's aftermath, all occurred within the confines of this region of Georgia.
