DISCOVER ALPHARETTA : ELECTED OFFICIALS Alpharetta is not your typical local government, and we work hard not to be. The City of Alpharetta approaches government with a more entrepreneurial mindset and a singular focus on making good things happen …. fast. Our ability to succeed with that approach requires a strong relationship between elected leaders and professional staff, an employee team that supports one another, and a shared commitment to service and the community we serve. The City of Alpharetta operates under the strong mayoral form of government, which means the mayor is the CEO and legislative and policy making authority is vested in the Mayor and our six-member City Council. All seven of these elected officials are elected on a non-partisan basis; serve four years, at-large terms; and each has a vote on all policies, ordinances, rules, the annual budget and other matters that come before them.

ALPHARETTA

ocated approximately 25 miles north of the City of Atlanta, Alpharetta occupies a land area of roughly 27 square miles and serves and estimated 122,000 (daytime) and 65,799 (nighttime) populations. The 164-year-old municipality, one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, has experienced tremendous growth that is fueled by its exceptional quality of life, diverse population, and a strong economic base that is led by Fortune 500 corporations and nearly 700 technology businesses. From trails to fiber, innovation to investment, Alpharetta is creating the connections that drive the modern economy and fuel diverse, rewarding lifestyles. Alpharetta is a community where vibrant culture, dynamic businesses and a thriving Main Street combine with forest paths and inviting neighbors to create a place where businesses and people can flourish.

Alpharetta became an official town in 1858 after pioneers settled on what was originally Cherokee Indian land. Where once just a few small buildings stood, including a grocery store, a courthouse and a jail, now a thriving city lives. The 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report revealed Alpharetta as the 6th-fastest growing city in the nation, which is no wonder when you consider the high-quality education and the number of businesses choosing to relocate to Alpharetta. Known as the “technology city of the south,” Alpharetta has paved its way for high tech companies like McKesson, ADP and Hewlett-Packard to establish regional headquarters within the city. The city has won numerous financial awards, and has been named one of the safest cities in Georgia, according to SafeWise. In 2021, Newsweek awarded Alpharetta as one of the “Best Places to Live on the East Coast” along with Niche 2020 as one of the “Best Places to Live in Georgia”.

Residents, business owners and visitors agree there is always an excuse to have a celebration, whether movies at a park, food truck gatherings, parades, art or music festivals, races or holiday gatherings. No matter what time of year, there is some kind of upcoming event that excites the Alpharetta community. Alpharetta benefits from a transportation network that drives business, fuels economic engines, and connects people. Highway access to Alpharetta includes four interchanges within the city limits to GA 400, with construction soon to begin on a fifth. Public transit connectivity is provided by the Metropolitan Atlanta Regional Transit Authority (MARTA) which plans to expand its service to Alpharetta via Bus Rapid Transit and dedicated transit infrastructure in the median of GA 400. This will further improve Alpharetta’s connectivity to the Atlanta Region and to the world via Hartsfield – Jackson International Airport. A city cannot be a leader in the innovation and technology economies without a world-class education system. Alpharetta is a leader with some of the top-performing public schools in the nation, outstanding private school opportunities and strong connections to universities and technical colleges. The graduation rate for Alpharetta’s public high schools is 94.4%, with students boasting an

average ACT score of 24.5 and 70 percent of students participating in AP courses. Georgia State University operates one of its campuses here, and Alpharetta also benefits from the presence of other post-secondary education providers such as Georgia Perimeter College, Reinhardt University, Troy University, Gwinnett Technical College and DeVry.

There are also plenty of shopping and dining opportunities, which seem to be expanding at a rapid pace. New developments are constantly popping up around the city, providing residents and visitors with new restaurants, retail shops and entertainment venues. Avalon, since its opening in October 2014, has brought 86 acres of dining, shopping, small businesses and residences to downtown Alpharetta.

Just down the street from the Avalon where Main Street intersects with Academy Street is the Alpharetta City Center. The city hall, county library, town green and city park are all conveniently situated on over 26 lush acres including retail stores, restaurants, office and residence elements in the heart of Downtown Alpharetta. The development is configured to encourage successful street-level retail, service, and restaurant uses that will enhance and expand the quality of businesses in Downtown Alpharetta.

North Point Mall is currently undergoing a major facelift that will provide the residents and visitors of Alpharetta to yet another exciting place to dine and play. The Alpha Loop, is an innovative and efficient way to connect people to activity centers, parks, and jobs by a network of multi-use trails that provides safe alternatives to driving as well as other recreational benefits. These multi-use paths connecting Avalon to Downtown Alpharetta, currently involves two interconnected routes including a three-mile inner loop and a five-mile outer loop that will link Downtown Alpharetta,

ABOUT ALPHARETTA : DISCOVER ALPHARETTA

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 of 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.

The new government had barely three years to become established before 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.

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 5:00 pm and Fridays, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Admission is free. 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, drought 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.

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.

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.

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 Male and Female Academy opened in a new building located in front of the current city hall. The school operated until the January 1922 when a new Milton School opened on Canton Street. 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.

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 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.

EDUCATION:: LIVE & THRIVE EDUCATION According to the College Board, Fulton has more schools with high SAT performance than any other district in Georgia. Going on the ideology that the main hope of a nation lies in the education of its youth, Alpharetta high schools are doing a lot right when it comes to laying a foundation that fosters a love of learning and a curriculum that teaches students to think. Outstanding teachers, exceptional leadership and governance, a challenging and stimulating curriculum, high test scores, dedication to the arts, competitive athletic programs, a vibrant co-curricular life evidenced by a variety of clubs and organizations, and ample opportunities for community involvement demonstrate why Alpharetta’s educational efforts work hard to take its students onward and upward.

Across the board, Alpharetta-area high schools continue to earn top grades for a wide range of key educational attributes:

LIVE & THRIVE

Alpharetta recognizes that high quality early childhood programs are not only great for students and their parents, they also serve as great economic stabilizers and equalizers. Good schools bring more residents (and jobs) to the area which helps to increase the availability of taxpayer money to fund community improvements. Alpharetta’s exceptional primary and secondary schools are led by educated, talented, and forward-thinking administrators, teachers and support staff who focus on curriculum diversity and pay much attention to early intervention protocols to foster academic growth from the ground up.

Fulton County has 19 high schools. Seven (7) are in Alpharetta or surrounding areas; five (5) of those seven rank among Georgia’s best – as measured by U.S. News & World Report’s STEM test scores and collegereadiness indices. A high school education focused on strong STEM curricula (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) can help teenagers develop problem-solving skills and provide them with a foundation to pursue a number of growing, in-demand careers. Alpharetta’s AP® test performance stats showed high participation rates and excellent scores among students: 68% of Alpharetta high school students took an average of 4 AP® test exams before they graduated. 90% of these students passed the exams affording them the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school and proving their readiness to take on more challenging material after graduation.

√ High test scores

All seven of Alpharetta’s or surrounding area middle schools, including Amana Academy, show exemplary test assessment rates. According to GreatSchools, collectively, these middle schools continue to demonstrate a proficiency rate as high as 99% for all core subjects.

Therefore, there are no 2020 CCRPI reports. SAT and ACT national standardized tests were offered in 2020, however, due to widespread school closures, we are only reporting the 2019 scores.

The Big Creek Greenway Trail Length: 8 miles one way joins 1.5 mile loop Type of Trail: Out and back; easy Access Points:

Alpharetta YMCA at Preston Ridge Road, Haynes Bridge Road, North Point Mall, Kimball Bridge Road or Marconi Drive

Kimball Bridge Road: Rock Mill Park, located 1/4 mile southeast of North Point Parkway, has Greenway parking and public restrooms. This area is prone to flood during heavy rains.

Characteristics: 12 foot wide paved concrete path that meanders through the deciduous woods along Big Creek; wildlife such as blue heron, deer, ducks and Canadian geese can be observed in this preserved water setting. A soft mulch trail encircles a large wetland between Haynes Bridge Road and Mansell Road. Ideal for biking, walking and inline skating along the creek. Dirt mountain bike trails are located on the east side of the creek 2/5 mile south of Webb Bridge Road. The Greenway is an investment in the future of Alpharetta for citizens to coincide with nature. Restrooms available.

Marconi Drive: Follow Marconi Drive off of Windward Parkway to reach a small parking area at the northern end of the Greenway.

How Long Is The Big Creek Greenway?

• Keep the greenway litter free. Hold your expendables until the first available litter can.

Total length of the Big Creek Greenway, from Windward Parkway to Mansell Road, is approximately eight miles.

Where Can The Greenway Be Accessed?

Alpharetta YMCA: From Old Milton Parkway, go 1/4 mile north on North Point Parkway to Preston Ridge Road and turn right toward the Ed Isakson/Alpharetta YMCA. Haynes Bridge Road: From North Point Parkway, go 1/5 mile south on Haynes Bridge Road. A parking lot is on the east/left side of Haynes Bridge Road. North Point Mall: Driving northbound on North Point Parkway halfway between Mansell and Haynes Bridge Roads, find the greenway

alpharetta_2021_USETHIS.indd 46

Is The Big Creek Greenway Complete?

No. Long range plans include connection to the Forsyth County trail system.

What Can You Do To Help?

• Please stay on the trail and stay off the berm that separates the concrete path from the creek.

• Respect other users and types of uses. Bikers: Please watch for darting children! Speed limit is enforced on the trail. • Be a steward of the Big Creek Greenway. Please use the See.Click. Fix. app on your phone to report any damage such as fallen trees. • Financially support Greenway maintenance. Maintaining the linear park costs more than its construction. In addition, the City would like to add more amenities, such as a formal flower garden and a children's play areas. Visit www.alpharetta.ga.us for more information.

BIKE ALPHARETTA: ALPHARETTA: LIVE & THRIVE Advocating for Safer Paths, Roads and Trails

Bike Alpharetta Inc. is a 501C3 non-profit community organization that began in 2011. Members are local residents and business leaders who generously volunteer their time and talents throughout the year to advocate and to educate for improved cycling infrastructure in Alpharetta. The main focus is to create a safer and more enjoyable environment for people of all abilities to utilize bicycles for an improved lifestyle in our community. With a grant from REI, Bike Alpharetta was able to create and publish City Bike Route Maps for the City of Alpharetta. More than 10,000 printed maps are distributed each year. The grant also provided resources to produce new signage along the city’s only mountain bike trails, Mt. Adams, located on the northern section of the Big Creek Greenway. In 2018, the League of American Bicyclists designated the City of Alpharetta as a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community. This recognizes Alpharetta for its investment in infrastructure, education and outreach to better enable and inspire people to ride bicycles, be it for recreation or transportation. Bike Alpharetta is proud to have been part of the BFC process.

Bikes For Kids Alpharetta is the largest community program managed by Bike Alpharetta. Donations of new and gently-used youth bicycles and tricycles are accepted from spring to fall (see the website for details), with generous support from the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety and area bicycle shops. Volunteers with Bike Alpharetta designate ONE DAY in December to clean and repair the donations, turning them into safe and Santa-ready childrens’ gifts for the North Fulton Community Charities holiday program. Since 2007,

Other events and programs for Bike Alpharetta include Beginner Rides, Senior Spokes rides, Bike at Work Day, Bike to School Day, Ride of Silence, bike valet at Taste of Alpharetta, ZEN Rides from Jekyll Brewing Taproom, and more. Want to learn more or be part of our vibrant cycling community in Alpharetta? Visit the Bike Alpharetta website to see how to make a difference - volunteer, donate or join a meeting.

Marker 2 JONES HOUSE | 1914 50 S. Main Street

The craftsman style home was built for Will Jones and his wife May Jackson Jones at a cost of $515.00.

ALPHARETTA FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH | 1834 69 N. Main Street

Methodist circuit riders held camp meetings here in the early 1830s and a meeting house existed as early as 1834. In 1871, Isham Teasley donated land where the brick chapel now stands. A white frame church was there until 1931.

This was the Courthouse of Milton County at the time it merged with Fulton County (1932). Created in 1857, the county was named for General Homer V. Milton (War of 1812), though some claim it was named for John Milton, first Secretary of State of Georgia. The courthouse was demolished in 1955. The existing building is a replica of the historic courthouse.

Marker 4 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ALPHARETTA | 1905 44 Academy Street

The front porch columns were removed, and the porch enclosed in glass in the mid-1980s when the house became a commercial property.

James H. and Thomas H. Manning operated the store in a wooden building that burned in 1902. It was replaced by a one-story brick building that later housed the U.S. Post Office, Bates Grocery, Cowart Shoe Shop, Cook Shoe Shop and the Alpharetta Welcome Center.
