Roswell, Historic mill city in Fulton County, Georgia.
Located on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, Roswell extends across 37 square miles of land with tree-lined streets and antebellum architecture.
The city originated in 1830 when Roswell King established a cotton mill along Vickery Creek, which became the largest manufacturing facility in North Georgia.
The historic district contains numerous preserved mansions and buildings from the 1800s, including the Barrington Hall and Bulloch Hall presidential connections.
The city maintains an extensive network of parks, trails, and recreational facilities, with the Chattahoochee Nature Center offering educational programs year-round.
During the Civil War, General Kenner Garrard's forces captured Roswell and burned the mills while preserving the residential structures that stand today.
