Roswell Historic Houses, Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia, United States, North America
Roswell is a city in north Fulton County, Georgia, United States. At the 2010 census, it had a population of 88,346, and in 2014 the estimated population was 94,089, making it Georgia's seventh largest city. A suburb of Atlanta, the city is well known for its prominent Historic district. In 1830, while on a trip to northern Georgia, Roswell King passed through the area of what is now Roswell and observed the great potential for building a cotton mill along Vickery Creek. Since the land nearby was also good for plantations, his idea was to put cotton processing near cotton production. Toward the middle of the 1830s, King returned to build a mill that would soon become the largest in north Georgia Roswell Mill. He brought with him 36 African slaves from his own coastal plantation, plus another 42 skilled carpenter slaves bought in Savannah to build the mills. The slaves built the mills, infrastructure, houses, mill worker apartments, and supporting buildings for the new town. The Africans brought their unique Geechee culture, language, and religious traditions from the coast to north Georgia. King invited investors from the coast to join him at the new location. He was also joined by Barrington King, one of his sons, who succeeded his father in the manufacturing company. Archibald Smith was one of the planters who migrated there to establish a new plantation, also bringing enslaved African Americans from the coastal areas. Barrington Hall (the home of Barrington King), Smith Plantation (the home of Archibald Smith) and Bulloch Hall (the childhood home of President Theodore Roosevelt's mother, Mittie Bulloch) have been preserved and restored. They are now open to the public. According to the 1850 Slave Schedules, these three founding families, together with the next three largest planters, held 192 slaves, 51% of the total 378 slaves held in Roswell District. Archibald Smith had a 300-acre (1.2 km2) cotton plantation. According to the 1850 Census, Barrington King held 70 slaves. Half of these slaves were under the age of 10. These slaves worked in Barrington's household. Barrington King leased or rented some of his adult male slaves to the Roswell Manufacturing Company, but they did not work around the mill machinery. The Roswell area was part of Cobb County when first settled, and the county seat of Marietta was a four-hour (one-way) horseback ride to the west. Since Roswell residents desired a local government, they submitted a city charter for incorporation to the Georgia General Assembly. The charter was approved on February 16, 1854. By the time of the Civil War, the cotton mills employed more than 400 people, mostly women. Given settlement patterns in the Piedmont region, they were likely of Scots-Irish descent. As the mill increased in production, so did the number of people living in the area. During the Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces under the leadership of General Kenner Garrard. Under orders of General Sherman, Garrard shipped the mill workers north to prevent them from returning to work if the mills were rebuilt. This was a common tactic of Sherman to economically disrupt the South. The mill was burned, but the houses were left standing. The ruins of the mill and the 30-foot (9.1 m) dam that was built for power still remain. Most of the town's property was confiscated by Union forces. The leading families had left the town to go to safer places well before the Federal invasion, and arranged for their slaves to be taken away from advancing Federal troops, as was often the practice. Some slaves may have escaped to Union lines. After the war, Barrington King rebuilt the mills and resumed production. While many freedmen stayed in the area to work as paid labor on plantations or in town, others migrated to Fulton County and Atlanta for new opportunities. The South suffered an agricultural depression resulting from the effects of the war and labor changes. According to the census, the population of Cobb County decreased slightly from 14,242 in 1860, to 13,814 in 1870. The proportion of African-Americans decreased more, from 27% to 23%. During those years, nearby Fulton County more than doubled in population, from 14,427 to 33,336. The effects of dramatic African-American migration can be seen by the increase in Fulton County from 20.5% slave in 1860 to 45.7% colored (Black) in 1870. At the end of 1931, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression. The difficult economic conditions drove Milton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the north (note: much of what is now Roswell was part of Milton County already), to merge in its entirety with Fulton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the south. To facilitate the merger, Roswell was ceded from Cobb County to become part of Fulton County.

Comment:
We were asked to provide a public service by publishing the complete, raw, unedited, un retouched video of all speakers including Q & A with attending audience. Nothing was edited including some of the rough camera movement. Many thanks to our intern we had operating this particular camera. This recording will allow anyone to become fully informed first hand of what transpired in the meeting rather than rely on second hand information. Sorry for the lack of polish we usually provide in finished video work product. There wasn't enough time to do any editing.
It was a packed room with overflow into the hall. As additional information, none of the city council candidates running in the March 21, 2017 special election, spoke at this meeting.

Six killed at Roswell missile silo (No.11), Feb.1961.
Six men were killed at an ICBM missile site, north of Roswell (New Mexico), on February 16, 1961, when a crane toppled over and exploded into flames at the bottom of the silo which was under construction at the time.
The accident happened at silo No. 11, located 10 miles north of Roswell.... A total of 12 missile silos were under construction in the Roswell area at the time.
The total number of missile silos under construction (or completed) in the United States in 1961 was 207.
The missile site shown here has been decommissioned and is no longer in operation, but there are (about) 450 LGM-30G Minuteman-III ICBM missile silos operational in other (remote) parts of the United States.
Chased by something in GA haunted mills.

St. George Village, Roswell, GA -Continuing Care Retirement Community - On Location!
St. George Village in Roswell, GA is the FIRST Life Plan/Continuing Care Retirement Community in Roswell. Not sure how big a deal that is, frankly, but that's what the sign says!
Anyway, I broke out my brand new Go Pro Session and man oh man, is this thing awesome. I'm going to get the hood mount so next time you can see the scenery almost like Google street view. It's going to be awesome.
I love the live looks, actually. So, hope this shows some of the scenery, moreso than just the sales brochure.
If there is a place you want me to shoot, let me know.
Anyway, take a look around as I drive though the community.
I will post another video on the pricing as well.
