Milton County was a county of the U.S. state of Georgia from 1857 to 1931. It was created on December 18, 1857, from parts of northeastern Cobb, southeastern Cherokee, and southwestern Forsyth counties. The county was named for John Milton, Secretary of State of Georgia from 1777 to 1799. Alpharetta was the county seat until the end of 1931, when Milton was merged with Fulton County to save it from bankruptcy during the Great Depression. At that time, Campbell County, which had already gone bankrupt, was also ceded to Fulton, giving it its 70-mile (110 km) long irregular shape along the Chattahoochee River.

  • Milton County war ein County des US-Bundesstaates Georgia von 1857 bis 1931. Es wurde am 18. Dezember 1857 aus Teilen des nordöstlichen Cobb County, des südöstlichen Cherokee County und des südwestlichen Forsyth Countys gebildet. Das County wurde nach John Milton benannt, dem Staatssekretär von Georgia von 1777 bis 1799. Alpharetta war der Sitz des Countys bis Ende 1931, als Milton mit Fulton County zusammengelegt wurde, um es während der Großen Depression vor dem Bankrott zu bewahren Zu dieser Zeit wurde auch Campbell County, das bereits bankrott war, an Fulton abgetreten, wodurch es seine 70 Meilen (110 km) lange unregelmäßige Form entlang des Chattahoochee River erhielt. Nach der Fusion von 1932 wurde vier Monate später, am 9. Mai 1932, auch die Stadt Roswell im Cobb County an Fulton abgetreten. Durch die Abtretung von Roswell (einschließlich alles östlich des Willeo Creek) wurde das neue County zusammenhängender, obwohl ein sehr schmaler Streifen (der heutige Dunwoody Panhandle von Sandy Springs, der von DeKalb County an Milton abgetreten wurde) die beiden Teile bereits miteinander verband.

Following the 1932 merger, the Cobb County town of Roswell was also ceded to Fulton four months later on May 9, 1932. The cession of Roswell (including everything east of Willeo Creek) made the new county more contiguous, though a very narrow strip (what is now the Dunwoody Panhandle of Sandy Springs, ceded to Milton from DeKalb) actually already connected the two sections. In 1900, there were several other post offices besides Alpharetta: Arnold, Coker, Dinsmore, Field's Cross Roads, Freemansville, McClure, Mazeppa, Ocee, Skelton, Stono, and Warsaw. Milton totaled 147 square miles (380 km2) or 94,080 acres. here was a population of 6,763, which was 555 more than at the previous (1890) census. Alpharetta had 310 residents; 1,529 lived in and around it. Methodists and Baptists were the dominant religious denominations. (en)
  • La contea di Milton, in inglese Milton County, è stata una contea dello stato della Georgia, Stati Uniti dal 1857 al 1931. Fu creata il 18 dicembre 1857 da parti della contea di Cobb nordorientale, della contea di Cherokee sudorientale e della contea di Forsyth sudoccidentale. Il capoluogo era Alpharetta. Nel 1931 la contea fu unita a quella di Fulton per risparmiare durante la Grande depressione ([1]). All'epoca la contea di Campbell, che aveva già dichiarato bancarotta, era stata già ceduta a Fulton, il cui territorio arrivava così al fiume Chattahoochee. Dopo l'unione del 1932, anche la città di Roswell, dalla contea di Cobb passò a Fulton il 9 maggio. Il territorio della contea venne reso così più omogeneo. (it)
