Fulton County was formed from DeKalb County in 1853, and then consolidated with Milton and Campbell Counties in 1932. That's why it has such an unusual, elongated shape. Of Georgia's 159 counties, Fulton County was the 144th to be created.  The Fulton name honors Robert Fulton, the inventor who built the Clermont, the first commercially successful steamboat, in 1807.

The cities of Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Milton, and Sandy Springs consist of the Northern sections of Fulton County.  Visitors to North Fulton will find a wide array of hotels and attractions to make the trip an enjoyable and unforgettable one!
