Alpharetta and the new city of Milton are two of the fastest growing real estate markets in the South! Let Bob Stenstrom be your guide to the outstanding real estate opportunities available right now in North Georgia.
Originally known as the "Town of Milton," Alpharetta's name was derived from the Greek words "alpha," meaning first, and "retta," meaning town. It's a fitting name for a city originally chartered way back on Dec 11, 1858 by pioneer settlers. Eventually, Most of Alpharetta's original residents were the lucky farmer and merchant recipients of the 1830's land lotteries. By the time of the Civil War, the town was permanently established with residences, stores, city hall and a school.
