Fresh roasted coffee has been a popular drink in Acworth, Georgia for over 100 years. The first coffee beans were planted in the town in 1868. Two years later, a small grocery store opened and began selling coffee. In 1872, the Acworth Coffee & Tea Company was founded and began making fresh roasted coffee. The company grew quickly and by 1912, it had become one of the largest roasters in Atlanta. In 1922, Acworth Coffee Corporation merged with another Atlanta-based roaster, Trustees Coffee Company. This merger allowed Trustees to sell its own brand of fresh roasted coffee as well as distribute Acworth Coffee Corporation's products throughout Georgia. At this point, ACTOFFEE became one of the most famous brands of its type in the country. In 1997, Acworth Coffee Corporation changed its name to Equal Exchange Incorporated and continued production under that name until 2008 when it transitioned to pure Bean Club Roasters status. On October 1st of that year, Equal Exchange announced plans to close all their stores worldwide due to weak demand for their product lines and low profits margins. However, they remain open-air cafes located throughout Georgia until today (2018). The history of fresh roasted coffee is reflective of many different aspects of life in America: from early pioneers who migrated westward through Roaring 20’s America to bring back new technologies such as water heating and electric lights; all the way throughto our current day obsession with quality when it comes to food or beverage choices - whether we are looking for something caffeinated or not! With so much history involved in this drink - from those earliest days on farms where people brewed their own tea; all the way up through equal exchange Corp., which today produces some of the finest beans available anywhere - there is no wonder why contemporary Americans are so interested in trying these amazing beverages again one day soon!
The Acworth Coffee Company was founded in 1885 by George H. Thomas and his brothers, Alfred and Franklin. The company became a well-known roaster and retailer of coffee in the Atlanta area. In 1916, the Acworth Coffee Company moved to its present location on Peachtree Street in Acworth.
Acworth, Ga. is a small town located in Cobb County, Georgia on the Chattahoochee River. The population was 3,814 as of the 2010 census. Acworth is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area and is home to many large employers such as Dole Food Company and Home Depot. According to Forbes magazine's 2009 list of America's wealthiest communities, Acworth had a median income of $105,000. The name "Acworth" comes from an Indian word meaning "place where they live." The first settlers in what is now Acworth were Creek Indians who began farming in 1784. In 1801, General Andrew Jackson gave land for a courthouse and school at this location. By 1812, the community had a store and two churches; one Baptist and one Methodist. In 1827, General John Bell arrived with his brigade to help suppress the Cherokee uprising led by Sequoyah (Cobb). As part of operations against Cherokees living east of the Appalachian Mountains he discovered water supplies in present-day Acworth lying below present-day Highway 231 which became known as Bell's Beltway after him. He named the creek that flows through Acworth after him – Arthur's Creek – which means 'the place where he found it.' In 1839, General Nathan Bedford Forrest set up headquarters at Fort Pillow (now Gainesville) within sight of present-day Acworth on what are now Grains Mill Road and Old Milton Road. Confederate forces under Forrest targeted Union troops stationed here during their invasion of Georgia in 1861; many soldiers were killed or captured here before being taken into slavery or joining Confederate forces outside of Georgia. Today Fort Pillow National Military Park overlooks much of today's Acworth including several cannon emplacements dating back to this period along with numerous historic buildings including Aiken Schoolhouse and First Presbyterian Church built between 1840-1854.) After Confederate forces surrendered at Appomattox Court House on April 9th 1865, most African Americans south of Mason–Dixon Line moved north into Union territory occupied by Union forces until Reconstruction began following the Civil War ended on November 12th 1865; however some black residents continued to reside in areas near Atlanta until after World War II when integration occurred there too among other places like Birmingham AL., Memphis TN., Jacksonville FL., Charleston SC., Stoney Point GA., etc.. A few years later than these others local businesses started opening up throughout Fulton County such as Dyer’s Bakery & Cafe (established 1921), Ford’s Furniture Store(established 1924), Piggly Wiggly fast food restaurant(opened 1957), Coca Cola Refreshment Center (opened 1968) among others which greatly helped spur economic development throughout Cobb County over time becoming one of its more important cites during that time period while also creating jobs for people locally as well as people working out-of-towners coming to visit or commute to work downtownAtlantaand elsewhere in FultonCountyduring those days/ periods.(See: http://www2o9.gov/site/acsworthatx/?p=1&qid=N4MvwzLWjI&from_search=true&FORM=CAB%3AHT%3AFROM%3ANOW&ordinal_position=1#pagebreak)) An article about life inAcworth from May 9th 2017 can be found HERE
Fresh roasted coffee is a centuries old industry that has been enjoyed by many people across the globe. Coffee was first grown and brewed in Africa, Asia, and America. The different roasting techniques used to produce fresh roasted coffee have resulted in a wide variety of flavors and textures that can be enjoyed today. The first recorded reference to fresh roasted coffee was in 1295 when Ibn Battuta wrote about the quality of Arabian coffees. Fresh roasted coffee was also mentioned in various travelogues from the 16th century onwards. In 1790, Giovanni Banchieri noted that “the best beans are picked fresh during the morning”. This led to the development of roasting plants specifically for fresh roast coffee. Roasters now vary greatly in their methods and goals for fresh roast coffee, but all share one common goal – to provide an excellent cup of java every time.
Fresh roasted coffee is a term for coffee that has just been roasted and has not been exposed to air or light.
The Acworth area was first settled in the early 1800s by Americans. In 1821, General Andrew Jackson's Expedition burned down the town of Crossville to punish a group of rebels. As a result, many settlers fled to Acworth. The population of Acworth grew rapidly during the antebellum period, and by 1850 it had reached 3,000 residents. During this time, Acworth became an important center for cotton production and commerce. In 1881, Acworth incorporated as a city under the name of Atlanta. It quickly became one of the leading cities in Georgia due to its economic opportunities and infrastructure. The city's growth continued into the 20th century, and by 2000 it had swollen to over 100,000 residents. Today, Acworth is an important cultural center in northwest Georgia with a rich history that has been commemorated through museums and other attractions.
It is said that the first European to visit Acworth was an American, James Wilkinson in 1785. The town was founded on a farmstead near the present-day intersection of Broad and Hawkins streets by John Acworth and his wife Sarah in 1802. The community grew rapidly due to its location within a distance of two major railroads. By 1825, Acworth had a population of over 100 people. A school was built in 1826 and a Presbyterian church was also built soon afterwards. In 1876, the town became part of Fulton County and since then it has grown steadily with more than 200 residents currently residing there.
