Roswell Mill refers to a cluster of mills located in Fulton County near Vickery Creek in Roswell, Georgia.[1] The mills were best known for producing finished textiles from raw materials grown on nearby plantations, and the group was "the largest cotton mill in north Georgia" at its height.[2]

The mill grew steadily, at one point producing wool and flour, in addition to cotton textiles.[3] This diversification progressed through several phases of ownership well into the 20th century, and the mill continued producing textiles until its eventual shutdown of operations in 1975.[1]
