Having recently been named by Nerd Wallet as the best place in America to start a business and by Forbes Magazine as one of the friendliest cities in America, it should come as no surprise that the City of Alpharetta is also the 6th fastest growing municipality in the nation according to the US Census Bureau. Being home to more than 600 technology companies, the community has a well-deserved reputation as the Technology City of the South and is also a center for commerce and employment in the Metro Atlanta Region. What began as a quiet trading camp over 155 years ago is, today, a sophisticated and affluent city that is home to 60,000 residents and boasts a daytime population in excess of 100,000.
