The airport name appears in various formats, depending on the source. The FAA refers to it as both Newnan Coweta County Airport[1] and Newnan–Coweta County Airport.[4] The Georgia DOT airport directory adds a hyphen/dash for Newnan–Coweta County Airport.[5] The City of Newnan's web site drops "County" from the name, resulting in Newnan–Coweta Airport.[6] Coweta County's web site drops both "County" and the hyphen/dash, for Newnan Coweta Airport[7] and also has a photo of a sign at the airport bearing that name.
