Carrollton was once an area occupied by the Creek Indians, until 1826 when they were ordered to give up the land by the United States government. Just three years later, Carrollton was named the county seat and the town was incorporated.

Today, much of Carrollton's history sits in Main Street, where residents can find entertainment, shopping and dining. At the heart of it all is Adamson Square, where charming details and historic architecture give these streets a welcoming glow.
