About Alpharetta

Alpharetta is a city in Fulton County, Georgia, United States. As of 2006 census estimates, the city had a total population of 43,424.

Officially chartered on December 11 of that year, Alpharetta (Greek for “first town”) became the county seat of Milton County until the end of 1931, when Milton was merged with Fulton County to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Depression.

Alpharetta is located 14 miles north of Atlanta’s central business district and 28 expressway-miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s second busiest airport. The town also had no railroad, a rarity for the area. Despite its poor start, and being one of the farthest-out large suburbs in metro Atlanta, it now features numerous high-tech companies including Hewlett-Packard, Lucent, Nortel, IBM, Sun Microsystems, AT&T, Siemens, Verizon, Verizon Wireless, Alltel, E*Trade, Hansgrohe, and ChoicePoint.
