The realtor was showing us houses and I asked were the downtown area of Alpharetta was (I was looking for a quaint little country village). She replied “It was burned in the war.”The population of Alpharetta was 261 people in 1860. I doubt there was much of a downtown to burn. In fact, it wasn't until the 1960 census that it broke 1000 people.
