It was founded by Roswell King a man that envisioned cotton mills powered by the water of Vickery creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee. The city of Roswell was incorporated in 1854. It consisted of two cotton mills, one wool factory and a flourmill. It functioned as a "small southern mill town" until the mid 1950s. The Roswell Mill continued to produce cloth until 1975, when Southern Mills finally ceased operations there. The Mill stands where it was built in 1882 just up from its original location in 1839. Today the Mill area has been restored and serves as center of the Historic District, and culturally enriches the community, which surrounds it.
