Founded in 1858 with humble beginnings as a pioneer trading post, the city of Alpharetta has evolved into a thriving suburban business and residential area. With a name derived from the Greek words for first (alpha) and town (retta), Alpharetta is located off GA400 in north Fulton County bordered roughly by the city Roswell to the south and west, the town of Milton and Forsyth County to the north and the city of John’s Creek to the east. In addition to offering a wide array of swim/tennis subdivisions, townhome communities, and charming older neighborhoods, residents and visitors flock to the area to enjoy popular attractions including the revitalized downtown business and entertainment district, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre and the new mixed-use Avalon development.
