A nice quiet town Northwest of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Actually considered a "Diamond in the Rough" academically because it has kind of flown below the radar for years. Most "Pretentious" people from the Grand Rapids area look down upon the residents of Sparta, considering them trash and incompetent. The people of Sparta are known for their fanatical Blue Collar work ethic and think that the "Pretentious" attitudes of surrounding areas stem from the fact that Spartans tend to be on the lower end of the workforce totem pole. The nice people of Sparta are fine with and almost welcome this attitude, as it keeps most people from venturing "north" to explore. Sparta is an example of one of those small towns where most people know each other and you can't seem to walk down the street without bumping into a few friends. People live comfortably amongst each each in this town, a place where you can still keep the doors unlocked at night (albeit, there is trouble from time to time as there is in most places). The town mascot is the obvious - The Spartan. Athletic teams are now competitive in most sports, something this quiet little village couldn't claim in recent years. However there is an exception as there seems to be a basketball hoop on every garage in this town, and the Basketball (boys and girls) teams are far from competing for a state championship. A nice place to grow up and raise a family, which again, is a very very hard place to find these days. Hopefully we won't get too much negative feedback on this site like our bretheran in Sparta, NJ.

a verb, to kick someone in the chest while yelling "Sparta!"

Sparta is a city in southern Greece. In antiquity it was a Dorian Greek military state, originally centered in Laconia. As a city-state devoted to military training, Sparta possessed the most formidable army in the Greek world, and after achieving notable victories over the Athenian and Persian Empires, regarded itself as the natural protector of Greece.Laconia or Lacedaemon,was the name of the wider city-state centered at the city of Sparta, though the name "Sparta" is now used for both. The Kings of Sparta were believed to be the direct descendants of Heracles.

The city of Sparta lies at the southern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Evrotas. The site was strategically located; guarded from three sides by mountains and controlling the routes by which invading armies could penetrate Laconia and the southern Peloponnesus via the Langhda Pass over Mt Taygetus. At the same time, its distance from the sea—Sparta is 27 miles from its seaport, Gythium—made it difficult to blockade.
