 Milton County in the U.S. state of Georgia was created on December 18, 1857 from parts of northeastern Cobb, southeastern Cherokee, and southwestern Forsyth counties. Alpharetta was the county seat until the end of 1931, when Milton was merged with Fulton County to save money during the Great Depression. At that time, Campbell County was also ceded to Fulton, giving it its 70-mile (about 110 km) long irregular shape along the Chattahoochee River.

Following the 1932 merger, the Cobb County town of Roswell was also ceded to Fulton four months later on May 9th. The cession of Roswell (including everything east of Willeo Creek) made the new county more contiguous, though a very narrow strip (through what is now the Sandy Springs panhandle, ceded to Milton from DeKalb) actually already connected the two sections. 1932 (MCMXXXII) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link will take you to a full 1932 calendar). ...

Re-creation proposals
In recent years, some residents unhappy with the distribution of Fulton County's municipal services between the lower-income southern and higher-income northern portions of unincorporated Fulton County have sought to re-create Milton County, consisting of Roswell, Alpharetta, and Mountain Park. A bill before the Georgia General Assembly in 2005 proposed to include Sandy Springs as well, and rename the remainder of Fulton County as "Atlanta County". The state's constitution, however, now prohibits any more than 159 counties, the number it has had since the merger in 1932. Any change would require a constitutional amendment, supported by two-thirds of each house in the state legislature, and by over half of all voters statewide in a referendum. A municipality or general-purpose district (compare with: special-purpose district) is an administrative local area generally composed of a clearly defined territory and commonly referring to a city, town, or village government. ...

Another possibility would be a merger of two or more of Georgia's other smaller rural counties into somewhat larger ones, thereby reducing the number of counties in the state. This is reasonable since many if not most of Georgia's counties are considerably smaller and less populous than those in most states.
These methods may be irrelevant however, because the study concluded that a new Milton County would not initially be cost-effective, and instead supported municipalization of the two remaining areas. These would be Milton (north) and John's Creek (east). This will be decided by the voters in a July 2006 election. Municipalization is the transfer to municipal ownership of corporations or other assets. ...
