About Roswell
Gold was discovered in the northern part of Georgia in 1828 which created a flux of settlers to relocate to the area including Roswell King of Darien, Georgia. Traveling via horseback, Mr. King proceeded along the Chattahoochee River and soon discovered vast natural resources that he believed would be perfect for a mill.
In 1839, Roswell King incorporated The Roswell Manufacturing Company. This cotton mill became extremely successful and continued to grow. Mr. King soon began to present investment opportunities to his colleagues and shortly thereafter a community was founded.
Roswell King’s wife, passed away before she could relocate from Darien, Georgia. She never had the opportunity to visit the town that was named after her husband.
In the past 15 years Roswell has developed into a thriving city of approximately 84,000. Roswell residents boast that with this growth they have managed to hold onto the small-town atmosphere where a strong sense of family and community still dominates.
