Fulton County was created in 1853. In 1857 Milton County (now Fulton County) included parts of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Cobb Counties. Milton was named for John Milton, Georgia’s first Secretary of State, and was located north of the Chattahoochee River (now Fulton County). Fulton was named for Robert Fulton, the famous inventor who experimented with a submarine boat in 1801 in France and built the\u00a0Clermont<\/q>, a steamboat that sailed up the Hudson River in 1807. During the Revolutionary War, Milton traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, and New Bern, North Carolina before moving to Maryland with the official records of the state while Georgia was occupied by the English. Campbell and Milton County merged with Fulton on January 1, 1932. At this time Roswell was ceded from Cobb County.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
