State Route 205 was assigned to Bells Ferry Road in Cherokee County. This route was turned over to county maintenance in 1985. Though Bells Ferry Road does connect downtown Marietta with Canton, Highway 205 began at its junction with State Route 92 in the Oak Grove district of southern Cherokee County. In the mid 1990s, Bells Ferry Road underwent an upgrade to a four-lane urban design roadway. This expansion of Bells Ferry Road, including part of the former S.R. 205, started at I-575 and ended at South Fork Way, just north of Kellogg Creek Road (Old S.R. 92).
Motorists use this road to access places such as the Little River Marina area of Lake Allatoona, Towne Lake Parkway, and the Bridge Mill development area south of Canton. The route originally formed a cutoff route between Acworth and Canton that was needed until the need was reduced by the completion of I-575. There are no plans to restore the state designation of 205.
