Roswell

Like Buckhead, Roswell was developed in 1839. Roswell is a historic area known for older antebellum homes and its historic founders' cemeteries. Named after Roswell King, a well to do planter from Georgia, Roswell initially started as a cotton mill on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. The community eventually developed around the mill. It wasn't long before large Tudor, Georgian, Colonial, and sprawling mansions with lovely gardens began to line parts of the Chattahoochee River. Roswell is another premier residential area comparable to Buckhead. All the conveniences of a large city, Roswell offers shopping, antique boutiques, a delightful historic section in the Roswell Square and nearby Canton Street. Festivals, equestrian events and an active community embrace the new arrivals in Roswell. The Historic Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau offers self guided tours and information for those interested in learning more about the area. Accessible to 285 and GA. 400.
