Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Lovejoy, GA

Lovejoy is a fast-growing city in southern Clayton County, on the south side of the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Lovejoy was incorporated as a town on September 16, 1861, just months after the Civil War began.

During the Atlanta Campaign of 1864, the community was the site of the Battle of Lovejoy's Station, one of the final engagements before the fall of Atlanta.

According to the 2020 census, Lovejoy had a population of 10,122, up sharply from 6,422 in 2010 and just 2,500 in 2000 as Atlanta's suburbs pushed south.

Lovejoy has an African American majority, and Census Bureau figures put its average household size at about 2.8 people.

The city covers only about 2.6 square miles, making it one of the more compact municipalities in Clayton County.

Lovejoy High School, established in 1989 and home of the Wildcats, stands just outside the city limits with a Hampton address and serves Lovejoy students through Clayton County Public Schools; it is one of only two International Baccalaureate-accredited schools in the county.

The Lovejoy Lady Wildcats girls' basketball team built a dynasty in the late 2010s, winning GHSA state championship honors and going more than 450 days without losing to an in-state opponent.

Lovejoy Regional Park, a Clayton County park adjoining the city, offers eight soccer fields, eight tennis courts, nine athletic fields, walking tracks and playgrounds.
