From Wikipedia:
Alpharetta is a city located in northern Fulton County, Georgia, United States and is a suburb north of Atlanta. It lies within the Atlanta metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, Alpharetta's population was 57,551. The estimated population in 2019 was 67,213.
n the 1830s, the Cherokee people in Georgia and elsewhere in the South were forcibly relocated to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) under the Indian Removal Act. Pioneers and farmers later settled on the newly vacated land, situated along a former Cherokee trail stretching from the North Georgia mountains to the Chattahoochee River.
One of the first permanent landmarks in the area was the New Prospect Camp Ground (also known as the Methodist Camp Ground), located beside a natural spring near what is now downtown Alpharetta. It later served as a trading post for the exchanging of goods among settlers.
Known as the town of Milton through July 1858, the city of Alpharetta was chartered on December 11, 1858, with boundaries extending in a 0.5-mile (0.80 km) radius from the city courthouse.[6] It served as the county seat of Milton County until 1931, when Milton County was merged with Fulton County to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Depression.
The city's name is a variation of a fictional Indian girl, Alfarata, in a 19th-century song, "The Blue Juniata". The name of the city is also believed to have been derived from the first letter of the Greek alphabet.
Watching from Los Angeles where the streets are now lined with trash, RV's, homeless encampments and drugs. Just driving to get groceries my son and I saw 3 people face down in the gutter and a man waving a gun. Then I see cities like this and pray to God we can get out of here soon! Thank you for this video.
Alpharetta would a good choice. One of the best suburbs in the Atlanta area.
First 5 mins reminds me A LOT of Louisville’s Norton Commons.. NICE!
I Remember Living in Alpharetta 1998-2017
Very nice area
Love the trees 🌳
I've been living in Alpharetta, very nice place normally we have beautiful blue sky days , this video was taken on a cloudy day, the weather is hot, very rare we have snow
How pricey is it? Alpharetta is one town we are looking at to move to. Woodstock is the other.
Any apartments complex that you recommend?
I notice two things in GA tows : 1. A lot of trees and beautiful sceneries 2. The roads in very good condition and so planned and designed unlike other small towns in different states .This what I noticed , correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you 🙏🏻 .
That's a fair assessment. Though about the being well planned part I wouldn't say that for Atlanta, maybe for the smaller towns though like you said.
Atlanta has an organization called Trees Atlanta they understand that not only are they aesthetic they help with urban cooling and keep the rain in the area because without trees Atlanta would be a desert.
You are correct! I live in Alpharetta and it's a very beautiful city that has paid a lot of attention to the green spaces, bike / walking trails and maintaining the roads.
I've always wanted to live in Alpharetta but I have never been there. I think this is the best video I have ever seen!!!
We are from Colombia, but established ourselves in Maryland...our area is so expensive (Clarksburg) and we also hate winters here!
Thanks so much for such a great video
You’re welcome. Glad it helped. It’s a pretty nice city. Probably my favorite of the Atlanta suburbs.
Alpharetta is expensive too
@@Fili2009able can you pay for my bills then?
Thanks for the vid. I'm planning to move to Alpharetta or to Sandy Springs GA. Thanks and Blessings!
Which did you decide? I’m planning to move to Sandy Springs or Alpharetta GA as well it’s a hard decision 😊
Wow!! That is NICE!! if I'm ever in Atlanta again, i am going to check Alpharetta the Avalon Blvd out!!
@Julius Cristian Lol both Clifton and Julius account were made 1 day apart. Same Person.
I remember when Alpharetta was a little town. It seems like all the old buildings have been torn down. Makes me cry to go there. Hardly anybody left originally from there.
They can't afford the property taxes. Lived there from 1981-1984. It was a little quiet hick town where everyone was related to each other.
@@andyokus5735 It is so sad, my whole childhood has been torn down. All of my family's houses, all gone. A damn parking deck in my grandmother's back yard. I try to avoid Alpharetta but I still have a few relatives there.
@@cindypruitt9534 Cindy, maybe you knew my neighbor Clyde Richards. He had been a guard on the Fulton county chain gang. I had a music store in Roswell in '81-82. " " Let Mike Try It " was my VW mechanic behind Main St. Crabapple was so beautiful back then. Barry Webb was a guitar playing friend of mine from Alphy'. Sorry for your loss but what do they call it... Progress?!
Back In The Days When I Was Little My Grandparents Lives In Fairfax Homes Then.
Hopefully moving there from England next year looks very American which is what I want
Fingers crossed for you! Put of curiosity, what looks "American" to you? I love how it looks too because it's modern and also historical with lots to do.
Did u move? I too am British hoping to move there.
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Im' live here this preety the people wonder full love you
Tank you i'm remember this town and people one moment un my life especial now live in México my mind and heart this atlanta
With this being the Atlanta metro, I'm shocked at how reasonable the traffic was!!!
It's getting there, but I don't think the traffic is quite back to normal yet.
lmao this is the middle of a pandemic
If you were to see it now, you'd see how very different it is because the normal traffic is back. I had to drive to Alpharetta yesterday and the traffic was ridiculous, lol.
@@fuffthebucks7266 Yes, I know that. I'm still shocked because Atlanta traffic is insane.
@@apexone5502 I just refuse to drive in Atlanta if I can avoid it.
Parece ser uma boa cidade pra morar. 🙂
Any apartment complex recommendations?
Huh🎉🎉👀
You can certainly tell this was doing the pandemic, because Alpharetta traffic is a nightmare and very congested I worked out there for 5yrs they have build so much in so little time
