Quick History

Carrollton is one of many towns in America named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence. The city was incorporated in 1829. The economy of Carrollton, much like many other Georgia cities, was boosted due to the railroad, which allowed farmers to ship their crops much easier.
