United States, Georgia, Fulton County, 33.79025, -84.46702Dillman, Caroline Matheny2003-08-14Encyclopedia article about Roswell, Georgia. Located twenty miles north of Atlanta on the Chattahoochee River, Roswell was originally in Cobb County but in 1932 was annexed to Fulton County. The Roswell area has evolved from being a part of the Cherokee Nation to a textile mill town to a sleepy historical suburb; it is now the sixth largest city in Georgia. Roswell's proximity to the country's first gold rush, its links to former U.S. presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter, and the influence of Greek revival architecture have played a significant part in its history.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Roswell (Ga.)Cities and towns--GeorgiaRoswellText
