| Description | Sandy Springs might well have been named Dorothy Town because of the woman who devoted 30 years to create the new city in Fulton County.
Rather, the new city's major interstate exit at I-285 and Roswell Road is named to honor Dorothy Felton, who overcame her minority status — as a woman and as a Republican — to effectively represent Sandy Springs in the Georgia House of Representatives for 26 years.
"She was the champion for incorporation for Sandy Springs," said her successor, Rep. Joe Wilkinson (R-Sandy Springs). |
