Welcome to Alpharetta
A quaint, largely agricultural town through the early 1980s but shortly thereafter transformed into one of the most prestigious communities in the US.
Starting in the 1830s, Alpharetta’s history began as pioneers settled on the land seeking the promise of community and land ownership. The city of Alpharetta was established in December 1858 as a trading post where the community found prosperity in raising families and rich farmland.
Alpharetta is a vibrant, family oriented community and one of Atlanta’s most desirable suburbs. It’s also a popular food and shopping destination with both Avalon and downtown Alpharetta boasting many different amenities.
