Roswell was founded during the Georgia Gold Rush, when Roswell King realized that the area's rivers and creeks would help forge considerable business opportunities. Specifically, he had a cotton mill in mind. So, King and several other influential families relocated to the area, built the largest textile mill in North Georgia, gorgeous mansions, a school, a Presbyterian Church, the town center, and a mill village - all sites that still draw historians and sightseers today.
Located 20 miles north of Atlanta on the beautiful Chattahoochee River and Vickery Creek, Roswell offers a small-town atmosphere with big-city amenities. With more than 100 listings on the National Historic Register, Roswell has successfully fused old and new. The historical city center has become a vibrant area with great shops, top-rated restaurants, thriving local businesses, art galleries, and antique sellers.
Side roads throughout Roswell lead to quiet idyllic neighborhoods and the Chattahoochee River and Trail system winds through the city with more than 16 miles of footpaths and trails. CNN has called Roswell one of the best places to live in America. Atlanta Magazine has named it the Best Place to Live in metro Atlanta, the Georgia Municipal Association calls Roswell a City of Excellence, and Money Magazine ranked it in the top 20 cities in the U.S.
