The Roswell Manufacturing Company, founded by Roswell and Barrington King in 1839, was a major textile mill in Georgia.
By 1860, it operated two cotton mills and a factory store, producing cloth, yarn, rope, and tenting. During the Civil War, it supplied the Confederacy until Union forces destroyed the mills in 1864 and deported over 400 workers, mostly women, as prisoners.
One mill was rebuilt post-war, and a second was added in 1882.
Ownership changed hands several times until operations ceased in 1975. The company store, originally using scrip, continued under private ownership as the Roswell Store until 1964.
