Alpharetta, Georgia

In the 1830s when immigrants and pioneers were looking for a sense of community, property ownership, a place to raise their children, and good farmland, they settled in Alpharetta. The city prospered from its humble origins as a trade station, and the City of Alpharetta was founded on December 11, 1858, subsequently becoming the seat of government for Milton County. The Old Milton County History Museum recounts Alpharetta's history, from its beginnings as Cherokee Indian territory to its incredible accomplishment into one of the country's most lively high-tech towns.
