In 1830, during a trip to North Georgia, Roswell King passed through the area of what is now Roswell and saw the great potential of building a cotton mill along Vickery Creek. As the nearby land was also good for plantations, he planned to place cotton processing close to cotton production. Towards the mid-1830s, King rebuilt a mill that would soon become the largest in North Georgia: Roswell Mill. He brought with him 36 African slaves from his own coastal plantation, in addition to another 42 skilled carpenter slaves bought in Savannah to build the mills.
Slaves built the mills, infrastructure, houses, apartments for mill workers, and support buildings for the new city. Africans brought their unique culture, language and religious traditions from the Geechee of the coast to North Georgia. At the time of the Civil War, cotton mills employed more than 400 people, mostly women. Given the settlement patterns in the Piedmont region, they were probably of Scots-Irish descent.
As the factory increased its production, so did the number of people living in the area. During the Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces under the leadership of General Kenner Garrard. Under General Sherman's orders, Garrard sent factory workers north to prevent them from returning to work if the factories were rebuilt. This was a common Sherman tactic to economically interrupt the Confederate rebellion.
The mill burned down, but the houses were left standing. The ruins of the mill and the 30-foot (9.1 m) dam that was built to generate energy still remain. Most of the city's properties were confiscated by Union forces. The main families had left the city to go to safer places long before the Civil War, and they organized to take people enslaved by the advance of the Union troops, as was usual.
Some slaves may have escaped in search of freedom beyond Union lines.
