lpharetta was incorporated on December 11, 1858. The town was created to become the county seat of the newly formed Milton County. The territory comprising Milton County had once been a part of the Cherokee Nation and beginning in 1831 this area became the southern portion of Cherokee County, one of the largest counties in the state. Cherokee County’s size created a hardship for some its southern residents who had to travel to Canton, Cherokee County’s seat, to conduct county business, a trip that could take up to four days for the round trip. To accommodate those residents, parts of Cherokee, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties were combined to create Milton County. On April 12, 1858, the Milton County Inferior Court ordered the purchase of 60 acres from the Manning and Camp families. Twelve and one-half acres were retained for county use and the remaining forty seven and one-half acres were divided into lots and sold to the highest bidders. These lots were used to establish the downtown business district and residences for settlers who were drawn into the new town for commercial or other reasons. Before the year was over construction had started on a new courthouse and jail. The 1860 Federal Census for Alpharetta listed six carpenters, three blacksmiths, two brick masons, two shoemakers, two tailors, two grocers, two hoteliers, two livery stable employees, one ditcher, one doctor, one postmaster, one sheriff, and one constable.

The new government had barely three years to become established when the Civil War began. Milton County sent two representatives to the secession convention in Milledgeville, then the Georgia state capitol. These two men, Jackson Graham and J. C. Street voted against secession but they were in the minority. Soon, five infantry companies were raised locally and soldiers were sent into battle. These troops fought in some of the war’s most deadly engagements including Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, and Atlanta. Milton County troops suffered 244 casualties

those on the west side of South Main Street and on the west side of Old Roswell Street, were built between 1902 and 1914. During this period the cotton business flourished as did the downtown businesses. But in the 1920s and 1930s the cotton market was destroyed by the boll weevil and the Great Depression. The price of cotton fell from 35 cents per pound in 1919 to 6 cents per pound in 1931. The two banks closed, cotton brokers could no longer offer seed and fertilizer to farmers on credit, and the farmers barely survived. By then Milton County was near bankruptcy. Teachers were forced to take pay cuts, and even then were not paid on time. Roads were in deplorable condition. County employees were underpaid. One local resident, the late Louie Jones, described the situation this way, “Schools during the Depression were nothing but shacks in the fields and not an inch of paved roads to get to them.” So in 1931, Milton County residents voted to become a part of Fulton County, its rich neighbor to the south. The vote was 213 for the move and 59 against. The change took place on January 1, 1932. Soon, a cafeteria, central heat and plumbing were installed at Milton School. Alpharetta’s main street was paved, school bus service was instituted, and pay for county employees was doubled. Farmers shifted to livestock and truck farming in the 1930s and 1940s. The demand for food by U. S. troops during World War II led to the growth of the poultry business in much of North Georgia, including the Alpharetta area. The poultry industry provided local residents with a stable source of income for many years even long after the war ended. Two other developments provided jobs for Alpharettans. The Bell Bomber Plant, now Lockheed, opened in Marietta in1943, and the General Motors Assembly Plant in Doraville began operations in 1947. The opening of Georgia Highway 400 in the 1970s and the growth of the Windward Development in the 1980s drew more residents and businesses to the area. Reasonable home prices, a moderate climate and superior schools made Alpharetta and surrounding communities excellent places to live, work and play.

In March 1865 the Superior Court reported a cash balance of minus $7.50 in the county treasury. Since there were no funds for education, Milton officials emphasized the importance of Sunday Schools in educating children. By 1871, the Alpharetta Male and Female Academy had opened in a new building located behind the current city hall. The school operated until the end of 1921 when Milton School opened on the property where the academy operated through the end of 1921 until Milton School opened on the property. During the 1890s, primary schools, funded by local citizens, opened in communities throughout the county, Ocee, Warsaw, Hopewell, Crabapple and Summit among them. Junior high schools were built in Birmingham and Newtown. Alpharetta’s economy was cotton based for decades. Farmers grew cotton and downtown businesses opened to seed, fertilize, process, sell and ship the product. In 1901, the Webb Guano Warehouse opened for business in the landmark Cotton House building on Milton Avenue. At various times three gins operated in Alpharetta, two in Crabapple, one in Webb and Ocee. Most, if not all of the existing downtown commercial buildings, particularly

In May of 2018, the City of Alpharetta celebrated the opening of the Alpharetta & Old Milton County History Museum, located inside Alpharetta’s City Hall. The History Museum covers the history of Alpharetta, from its earliest days as Cherokee Indian territory, through its remarkable emergence as one of the nation's most vibrant high tech cities.

Alpharetta & Old Milton County History Museum Local historians worked for over four years to open the Alpharetta & Old Milton County History Museum, which includes stories, photos, and memorabilia contributed by many local residents. The Museum was funded by the City of Alpharetta and developed in partnership with the Alpharetta & Old Milton County Historical Society which provided historical research and many of the artifacts on display. The Alpharetta & Old Milton County History Museum is open Monday – Thursday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and Fridays, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is free.

live & thrive : education Fulton County Announces STEM-focused High School Campus on Old Milton High School Site

y Fall of 2021, high school students in Alpharetta and surrounding areas could opt to attend a STEM-focused campus slated being built at the Old Milton High School site, located in downtown Alpharetta. This highly-touted STEM campus is one of the top construction priority for the Fulton County School System as it finalizes the 2017-2022 Capital Plan. The school plan and design for the North STEM High School is nearing completion. The North High School will be approximately 225,000 square feet, with additional space planned for a state-of-the-art auditorium. Estimated enrollment will be for approximately 1,500 students. This high school alternative focuses on science, technology, engineering and math that will lead students on a career pathway to high-demand, high-paying jobs in information technology, health care sciences and engineering. The Georgia Department of Education is dedicated to preparing students for the 21st Century workplace careers by providing high quality educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. In Georgia, STEM education is defined as an integrated curriculum (as opposed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics taught in isolation) that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory project/problem-based learning, and studentcentered development of ideas and solutions.

within an academic environment that more closely mirrors a college experience.

Students who attend these schools will graduate with a number of industry certifications which will differentiate them among other students whether they plan to apply to a four-year school like Georgia Tech, attend a technical college, or enter the labor force upon graduation.

The programs will equip students with the necessary tools and resources to prepare them for their chosen path.

· The

STEM High School will provide multiple industry-based certifications in one of three clusters - healthcare, engineering/ manufacturing, and computer science.

By participating in job shadows and internships, students who attend the school will have the opportunity to connect and work within local Atlanta businesses and industries.

About the School’s Conceptual Plans and Design

The building’s conceptual plans were presented to the school board and approved in the Fall.

While the school’s interior will reflect a more modern design, the exterior structure will have a traditional appearance.

Students will take all required core academic courses while participating in the STEM curriculum. Courses will include biotechnology, nursing, pre-med, megatronics, robotics, information technology, networking and computer programming.

The school is organized with three wings for the programs of Healthcare Sciences, Engineering, and Information Technology

Healthcare Sciences and Information Technology will be in a threestory space

The Engineering wing will be one-story. This allows for larger laboratories to have direct access to an outdoor classroom space as well as acoustical separation from the rest of the building.

Each of the three program spaces are situated around a “touchdown space” which allows students to collaborate in a flexible space

Ground floor spaces include the cafeteria, career and counseling center, food court, administration areas, and active learning classrooms

The media center function is located on the second and third floors and connects to the open, touchdown space on the first floor.

The school has safety elements in place such as clear visitor/student drop-off areas, student parking, and a dedicated bus lane.

It will also provide community access with a separate auditorium for after-hours and weekend events

The STEM-focused campuses will provide students a curriculum allowing students to transition directly into the workforce, receive industry certification credentials, and/or obtain college credit while still in high school. Students will take all required core academic courses while participating in the STEM curriculum. Courses will include biotechnology, nursing, pre-med, megatronics, robotics, information technology, networking and computer programming. About the Need for a STEM-Focused High School

During the process of planning for our current Capital Program 2022, staff worked closely with business leaders to think differently about educational options for our students.

The result, an opportunity to attend one of our planned STEM high schools for students who want a rigorous STEM-based curriculum

Exciting Times for the By: Geoff Smith

gsmith@lendtheway.com 770-674-1433

Tech City of the South

here is no other way to put it, but the City of Alpharetta is going through a development renaissance. And the magic of what is happening in Alpharetta is being emulated throughout not just Metro Atlanta, but the entire southeast. While many cities closer to the Metro area jumped on the seemingly unbridled wave of new construction that ran through here in the 1980s and 1990s, Alpharetta kind of slow-played their hand. It is a city that slowly and carefully over the course of the last 30 years, added crown-jewel-type projects that created momentum to always attract the next big thing. With help from the state, it planted fiberoptic cable along major corridors back in the 1990s, and tech offices and data centers have sprouted up ever since. North Point Mall was built in the 1990s as the high-end new wave of malls. And Class A offices were erected along Windward Parkway and Old Milton Parkway.

this would be it. And they can now stay overnight. 2018 saw the opening of the world-class Avalon Hotel and Conference Center. The conference center is the first of its kind in North Fulton in that whereas prior to its opening, for many events, groups had to go further intown because they were too big. Now they don’t. Avalon has a serious gravity about it and quality developers and companies are being drawn in. Microsoft recently moved its southeastern headquarters to an office tower in Avalon. New residential developments are connecting Avalon to Alpharetta’s downtown. And Alpharetta’s downtown is set to unveil more than $80 million worth of new development that will create a walkable city-center surrounding the newly built City

Things slowed after the downturn in the economy. But the stillness turned out to be the calm before a storm that produced Avalon. If you have not visited Avalon, it is essentially an 86-acre city that basically kick-started what post-recession commercial development is supposed to be all about. The development mixes 500,000 square feet of street-level retail with offices, luxury apartments and up to $1 million-homes. It is clean and unique and each restaurant and store adheres closely to its branded style. If Disney made a theme park for wealthy suburban adults to spend their time,

Hall. A boutique hotel is under construction on main street and there is talk of a new brewery that will serve as the centerpiece of another walkable development just south of downtown. Then there is Jackson Healthcare’s Roman coliseum. The Alpharetta-based company is building a $100 million building that will look literally like a Roman coliseum. It will hold 1,400 new employees when completed. And will have almost everything an employee there could need including a fitness center, pool, restaurant, spray-tanning studio and a masseuse. To say there is a lot of commercial development going on in Alpharetta would be an

live & thrive : housing understatement. And the kicker is there is more on the way. Greenstone Properties is putting together a 17-acre mixed-use project just across the street from Avalon that could include 450,000 square feet of office space connected to retail and restaurants. There is also talk of a music venue for that location. With all of these great new places to work, visit and play in, you’d think there would be a lot of residential construction as well going on in Alpharetta. And you’d be right. While most of the developments already mentioned include condos, homes and apartments, there are also several other strictly residential neighborhoods going up throughout the city. The new neighborhoods are nothing like what occurred prior to the recession when developers could buy a hundred acres and build a neighborhood with a hundred homes. Most are smaller with homes priced above $600,000. At the time of this printing, of the 156 new construction homes that were listed, 121 of them were priced over $500,000. Of that 21 were over $800,000, and 9 were listed for over $1M. The story for the housing market is that inventory has been tight. And that is true in Alpharetta. While there were 156 new

construction homes listed, in all there were only 495 homes listed for sale at time of print. The low inventory issue is going on all over the country, and certainly in Alpharetta as buyers look to be near all of the new developments going up throughout the city. One of those new developments is something the city itself is working on: The Alpha Loop. This will be a multi-use path that will include a five-mile outer loop that would link Downtown Alpharetta, Avalon and the Northwinds area located at Haynes Bridge Road and GA400. It would also include a three-mile inner loop. While most suburban communities would be thrilled to have this much development go on over 20 years, the bulk of what’s been mentioned in the article so far has gone up in the last 10. The city which is known as the Tech City of the South, has amassed an arsenal of quality, signature developments that all play off each other to make Alpharetta a thriving success.

Bike Alpharetta Believes

Bike Alpharetta

Bicycling on paths, streets and trails should be safe.

Bike Alpharetta Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit community organization advocating for a safe and enjoyable environment for people of all abilities to utilize bicycles for an improved lifestyle in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Bicycling infrastructure should enable access to people of all ages and abilities for mobility purposes (recreation, sport, transportation). Bicycling is an integral part of a multi-modal transportation system. Bicycling positively transforms our community by offering an option for user mobility, strengthening the economy, improving the environment, and promoting an active, healthy lifestyle.

Managed by a Board of Directors, Bike Alpharetta is comprised of local residents and civic leaders who generously volunteer their time and talents throughout the year. All individuals and businesses are welcome to become involved with the mission of Bike Alpharetta, supporting the organization through monetary donations and/or volunteerism.

A bicycle is legally a “vehicle”, and traffic law applies to the operation of a bicycle.

The largest community event of the year is Bikes For Kids Alpharetta.

The six-room Queen Anne-style cottage has heart pine floors and fireplaces with original mantels and tiles. Cotton broker Clifford Pierce Norman, wife Nancy Lee Shell Norman and their three daughters lived there.

James H. and Thomas H. Manning operated the store in a wooden building that burned in 1902.
