Roswell was incorporated as a town in Fulton County on February 16,
1854. The city is named for the original settler of the area,
Roswell King. King, and others, traveled from the Georgia Coast with
the hopes of investing in mining. After discovering that this area
was close to the Chattahoochee River, King was inspired to build a
major textile mill powered by the water. The Roswell Manufacturing
Co. and the Roswell Mill played key roles in the development of the
town during its earlier history.
The Chattahoochee Nature Center, located in Roswell, encompasses 127
acres and has four nature trails that wind through wetlands and
woodlands.
