1858 was the year Alpharetta, Georgia became a town. On December 11 1858, Alpharetta was legally
chartered. Prior to July of that year, the town was known as the "Town of Milton". The original town charter provided that the City could pass a tax on every grocery store, retailing liquor store, hallway and billiard
table of not more than $25.00 per year. Another provision of that charter was the right to levy a tax of
$25.00 on every show that may be exhibited within the City.

A courthouse and jail were constructed,  the final bill for the completed facility was $2,400.00. This building
served as a landmark for the city limits because, according to the charter, the limits were to extend in a
one-half mile radius from the Courthouse. By the time of the Civil War, Alpharetta had grown to a fair
sized town with three hotels, several mercantile shops, numerous churches and a school. The farms
around the area were for the most part small family farms and the majority of the farmers were not
slave owners.

1863 brought an epidemic of smallpox, which quickly spread through the town of Alharetta. In one
instance, 16 cases of the disease were recorded in two families alone. Guards were hired to keep
people from leaving their quarantine and thereby spreading the sickness further.

A place to work and live in.
