History

Pre-1700's - Cherokee Indians Nation and the Creek Indians lived here in the northern Fulton area. By 1821 the Indian Nations had ceded their land to the USA and thus to Georgia.[1][2]
1776-1783 -American Revolution - While the English were occupying Georgia area, John Milton traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, and New Bern, North Carolina before moving to Maryland with the official records of the state of Georgia. [2]
1836 The Georgia Assembly passed an act to build a railroad from DeKalb County northwest to Ross's Landing on the Tennessee River. While this occurred the community "Terminus" began nd grew. By 1843 "Terminus" became "Martha'sville (the daughter of a governor). This became Atlanta. [3]
1837 Railroads reached Atlanta and Fulton County, Georgia. Settlers arrived from other counties east of Fulton and other states of English Scottish, Irish, Jewish, and Moravian origins.[1][4] Once the railway was built, Fulton County became a major center for transportation. [2][5]
1845 The Georgia legislature renamed"Martha'sville" as Atlanta, Georgia . At this time Atlanta built its city hall. When it was completed, Fulton asked Atlanta if they could use the city hall as the first courthouse. (which lasted for 30 years) Atlanta became a city due to the General assembly passing an act to construct a railway from Dekalb County Northwest to Ross's Landing near Chattanooga. They say a stake was driven into the ground as the southern terminus. [3] [2]
1853 The western half of DeKalb County was used by the Georgia legislature for Fulton County. It was named in honor of Hamilton Fulton, a surveyor/engineer for the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Mr. Fulton surveyed the area and convinced state officials that a railroad would be better than a canal to connect Milledgeville to Chattanooga, Tennessee. [2][5]
Dec 18, 1857 Milton County was created from parts of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Cobb counties. it was named for the first secretary of state for Georgia, John Milton..

The Atlanta Campaign
Generals in the Atlanta Campaign
March, 1864 Lt. Gen. Ulysses S Grant appointed Gen. Sherman to command the Union armies in northern Georgia between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. The drive to ruin Atlanta was based on Atlanta was a hub for the Confederacy, providing the and transportation link for supplies and troops between the eastern seaboard and the west. [6]
The Confederate Southerners were giving up hope of conquering Union territory. They had some chance of winning the war if they were not beaten. Southerners hoped if General Lee and General Joseph E Johnston could hold out til November, the Northerners might vote US President Abraham Lincoln out of office, and another president might seek an armistice with the south.. [1]
General Sherman
Ulyssis S Grant gave orders for Sherman to break up Johnston's Confederate army and push into the area as far as he could. Gen Sherman was determined to lead his army toward the sea. [6][1]
1864 As Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was defending the Richmond Capital in Virginia, the Georgia forces were to keep Union Ulysses S Grants force at Tunnel Hill northern Georgia during the Civil War (1861-65) away from Atlanta, Georgia. [6] [1]
Battle of Resaca
May, 1864 Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston tried to counter Union general William Sherman's push toward Atlanta in Battle of Resaca.[6][1]
1) Union troops outnumbered the Confederates two to one.
2) An efficient supply system kept the Union armies fed, clothed and armed
3) Union Morale was high as they had routed the Confederates from Chattanooga, TN
4) Gen. Johnston, Confederate had an unaggressive record
Gen. Johnston.
May 25-27, 1864, Sherman pushed Johnston and the Confederates back further. Sherman began maneuvers which set the stage for the campaign. Johnston's army dug in north of Dalton near the Rocky Face Ridge. [6]His maneuvers around Johnston began moving the Union army through Georgia. [1]
Battle of Lookout Mountain
Sherman skirted around the Confederates at Allatoona, to strike away from the railroad, at New Hope Church, May 25 and Pickett's Mill, May 27. [6]
June 3, 1864 Gen. Sherman re-attacked the Confederates at Allatoona Pass. A Confederate line of defense was created in front of Atlanta to defend the city from the Union War. During the Battle of Resaca, Sherman had one column to march southward through Snake Creek Gap to out flank the Confederates, and attack the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Sherman used short attacks against the Confederates and Railway. [6]
Through daily summer rains, Sherman attacked in a battle at Kennesaw Mountain. Then he began his flanking strategy into July. Gen. Johnston had to retreat from Kennesaw Mountain. [6]
Atlanta Campaign (Kennesaw Mtn background)
One of the Confederates line of defense was created in front of Atlanta to defend the city from the Union War. During the Battle of Resaca, Sherman ordered one column to march southward through Snake Creek Gap to out-flank the Confederates, and attack the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Sherman used short attacks against the Confederates and the Railway. [6]
The Confederates withdrew toward Cassville, but the Union followed in separated columns. Gen. Johnston was very cautious.[6]When Johnston was pushed back again, Atlanta and President Davis feared the city would fall .
July 17, 18,1864, President Jefferson Davis fired Gen. Johnston. General John B. Hood was the replacement to save Atlanta. Hood's chance of success were low as the Union troops were. [1]

five miles from Atlanta's outskirts when Hood assumed the command of the Confederate army, with a strength of (80,000 Union troops) to (50,000) Confederates). Gen Hood launched (3) attacks around Atlanta, but was repulsed. [6]

General John B Hood
July 1864 General K Garrard is said to have destroyed Roswell Mill. This general arrested the (400) women millworkers as traitors. He shipped them north to Marietta, Indiana, plus the children. There is little evidence found of their return to the South. [7][8] [2]
As the Union army approached Roswell, Georgia, the owners had fled. The mill workers and families were left to work on the cloth for Confederate uniforms and rope. This mill was later rebuilt and kept functioning into the 1900's. . [1][9]
July 1864 Gen Sherman and the Union troops cut Atlanta's railroads by cutting the lines heading east out of the city. At the Battle of Ezra Church, there were 5,000 Confederates casualties with a light loss of Union army. Hood's infantry (1/3) marched south through Atlanta, as Gen McPherson pushed closer to the city from the east. The election was successful for Abraham Lincoln.[6]
1st Union square Depot, State Square,
The Confederates built a fortified perimeter (10 miles in circumference) one mile outside Atlanta, Georgia (closer to the city of Atlanta, Georgia.) [6]
July 20, 1864 - Sherman bombarded Atlanta which had (3,000 civilians) left in the city, hitting the

Confederate lines and the City. By Aug 9, 5000 shells had been fired into the town, continuing 5 weels. [6]The Battle of Atlanta resulted badly for the Confederacys. The Confederates were repulsed with 8500 casualties. [1]

Battle of Atlanta
Aug 31, 1864 After all available rail lines had been cut including Jonesboro, Confederate General John B. Hood defended the city from Sherman's attack from earlier established earthenwork fortifications in front of Atlanta. Hood's own headquarters were under fire. Sherman bombarded the city for five weeks. When the supply delivery ceased, {{Red|Hood evacuated Atlanta}, and ordered the last railway be destroyed.. [6]

Sherman had most of the buildings in the city burned, regardless if military, businesses, or homes. [10]

Sept 1, 1864 Before retreating, Hood ordered the depots destroyed to prevent them from falling into the Union hands.Hood ordered the remaining train track and train to be destroyed as they retreated. The Confederates detonated an ammunition train, leaving the wheels. [6][11]
The Confederacy was doomed!
Gen. Sherman telegraphed Washington, D. C. with his news he had won Atlanta, with low casualties of 37,000 Union and about 32,000 Confederate soldiers killed, wounded, and missing. [6]
After shelling and blasting Atlanta, until it fell, Sherman stayed awhile. While Sherman's troops were in Atlanta for 2.5 months, Sherman moved into the John Neal home. Other generals moved into the best homes. Soldiers camped anywhere. They stripped some buildings of the wood to built shanties for their stay. The did not leave Atlanta until November, 1864.[6][12]
Buildings were destroyed and mid November the engineers burned a bank, the leading hotels, a storehouse at Whitehall and residences. He wanted all citizens removed from the city so he could store his supplies. Then Sherman continued southward toward Savannah in his March to the Sea.
Nov 11 Union Soldiers torched residences. After the Union troops sent their train loads of troops and materials, Capt. Poe, had his men rip up the steel of the Atlanta railways. They heated and bent each rail over the burning wooden ties. Nov 15 they used explosive shells to torch buildings such as a storehouse at Whitehall, a bank on the Railroad, the Trout and Washington hotels. A hand-drawn map is now in the Peabody Essex Museum showing the buildings the Union troops torched.
Dec 21 Union troops entered Savannah just before Christmas. Sherman sent another telegram to Presiden, saying he wanted to present the city of Savannah and some 150 guns, and 25,000 bales of cotton.
These were contributing factors to the end of the Civil War in April, 1865.
