Location in Fayette County and the state of Georgia
Fayetteville is a city and the county seat of Fayette County, Georgia, United States.[5] As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 15,945,[6] up from 11,148 at the 2000 census. Fayetteville is located 22 miles (35Β km) south of downtown Atlanta.[7]
In 2015 the small majority-white city elected its first African-American mayor, Edward Johnson, a retired US navy commander and pastor. In 2011 he was elected as the first black city council member. He was a three-term president of the NAACP.[8][9]
Fayetteville was founded in 1822 as the seat of the newly formed Fayette County, organized by European Americans from territory ceded by force the Creek people under a treaty with the United States during the early period of Indian removal from the Southeast. Both city and county were named in honor of the Revolutionary War hero the French Marquis de Lafayette. Fayetteville was incorporated as a town in 1823 and as a city in 1909.[10]
The area was developed for cotton plantations, with labor provided by enslaved African Americans, who for more than a century comprised the majority of the county's population. Fayetteville became the trading town for the agricultural area.
In the first half of the 20th century, as agriculture became more mechanized, many African-American workers left the area in the Great Migration to northern and midwestern industrial cities, which had more jobs and offered less oppressive social conditions.
A reverse migration has brought new residents to the South, and the city of Fayetteville has grown markedly since 2000, as has the county. The city's population has increased from 11,148 in 2000 to an estimated 16,990 in 2015.[11]
The city has a mayor-council form of elected government. Council members are elected from single-member districts, and the mayor is elected at-large in a non-partisan race.[8]
In 2015 Edward Johnson was elected mayor, the first African American to serve in the position. The retired US Naval Commander and pastor of Fayette County's oldest black church is described as a consensus builder. In 2011 Johnson was elected as the first black member of the city council after having served three terms as president of the local chapter of the NAACP.[8]
As of the 2010 census,[13] there were 15,945 people, 6,006 households, and 4,264 families residing in the city.

Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.8% of the population.

As of the most recent community survey, the median income for a household in the city was $62,037 and the median income for a family was $81,613. About 6.5% of families and 8.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 13.3% of those under age 18 and 6.1% of those age 65 or over.
Since 2013, members of the Fayette County School Board have been elected from single-member districts, rather than at-large, following a federal court ruling in a voting rights case. Leonard Presberg was first appointed to fill a seat, then elected on his own right to serve on the school board.[14] In January 2016 the school board voted unanimously to settle their appeals case and accept single-member districts as the basis of electing members.[15]
The Fayette County School District holds pre-school to grade twelve, and consists of fifteen elementary schools, five middle schools, and five high schools, as well as an alternative education program and Open Campus for middle and high school students.[16] The district has 1,379 full-time teachers and over 20,756 students.[17]

The Fayette County Courthouse, built in 1825 four years after the county and town's founding, is the oldest surviving courthouse in Georgia.

It holds offices for Fayetteville Main Street and the Fayette County Development Authority.
