 Atlanta is
consistently ranked one of the top cities in the U.S. for business
and family life, and Alpharetta is one of the hottest markets in
Atlanta for both commercial and residential real estate. Excellent
schools, shopping, and access to jobs combined with plenty of green
space and a down-home country atmosphere have made Alpharetta the
premiere location in Atlanta today. We hope you will come to visit
or come to stay!
FROM THE NORTH GEORGIA
MOUNTAINS to the Chattahoochee River along a Cherokee Indian trail,
a tiny village named New Prospect Camp Ground was formed. This
village, made up of tents, a log school, and arbor became a trading
post where Indians and white settlers exchanged their goods. The
surrounding countryside provided excellent farming land, especially
for cotton. On December 11, 1858, the town was chartered and became
the county seat of Milton County. The town was renamed Alpharetta
from the Greek words "alpha" meaning first and "retta" meaning town.
In 1932, Milton County was merged into Fulton County.
Today, Alpharetta
is a modern, growing community of more than 30,000 residents and a
center for employment. Looking around the city, it is not hard to
understand why Alpharetta has grown so rapidly in recent years. If
you are going to relocate to Atlanta consider Alpharetta, its
wonderful housing coupled with excellent schools, fine
recreational amenities and a safe, healthy environment have combined
to make Alpharetta's quality of life second to none.
Providing
year-round sports, activities and special events, the Alpharetta
Recreation and Parks Department is nationally accredited and
recognized for its outstanding programs for children, adults, and
seniors. In addition, the department manages and operates one of the
finest equestrian facilities in the southeast at
Wills
Park. The Greenway system along Big Creek provides a
safe and environmentally pleasing pathway to enjoy quiet leisure
time.
