== Fun facts ==
* During the Civil War, the city was captured by Union forces under the leadership of General Kenner Garrard. Under orders of General Sherman, Garrard shipped the mill workers north to prevent them from returning to work if the mills were rebuilt. This was a common tactic of Sherman to economically disrupt the South. The mill was burned, but the houses were left standing. The ruins of the mill and the 30-foot (9.1 m) dam that was built for power still remain. Most of the town's property was confiscated by Union forces. The leading families had left the town to go to safer places well before the Federal invasion, and arranged for their slaves to be taken away from advancing Federal troops, as was often the practice. Some slaves may have escaped to Union lines.
* Once fast-growing, population growth has slowed due to the fact that the metro is running out of annexable land, and there are many unincorporated areas unwilling to become incorporated.
* Roswell is home to the Roswell Lava Gardens, a complex of gardens with many different colored flowers and some small pools with the water dyed orange to make them look as if they were lava. The place is very popular among Fire-types in the area.
