Roswell is a city located in northern Fulton County, Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 79,334. Census Estimates of 2005 show a population of 85,920. Residents of Roswell are referred to as Roswellians.

In 1830, while on a trip to North Georgia, Roswell King passed through the area of what is now Roswell and observed the great potential for building a cotton mill along Vickery (Big) Creek.

Towards the middle of the 1830s, King returned to build a mill that would soon become the largest in North Georgia with over 400 employees by the time of the American Civil War in the 1860s. The ruins of the mill and the 30 foot dam that was built for power still remain. As the mill increased in size, so did the number of people living in the area.

The Roswell area was part of Cobb County, Georgia when first settled, and the county seat of Marietta was a four-hour (one-way) horseback ride to the west. Roswell residents desired a local government so a city charter for incorporation was put before the Georgia General Assembly and the charter was approved on February 16, 1854.

During the American Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces and the mill workers were all shipped north, a common tactic in Sherman's plans of economic ruin of the South. The mill was burned and most of the Rebel town's property was confiscated by Union forces.

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, to merge in its entirety with Fulton County, Roswell's neighboring county to the south. To facilitate the merger, Roswell was ceded by Cobb County to Fulton. Sections of neighboring Cherokee and Gwinnett Counties were also ceded to Fulton at this time to define the expanded and contiguous northern section of Fulton County.

Jere Wood, a Republican, has served as mayor of Roswell since 1997.

In 2006, Tom Price was re-elected to a second term in the United States House of Representatives to serve as the congressmen from the 6th congressional district of Georgia, the district that encompasses most of Roswell.
