Hopewell
The Hopewell Community may be one of the few communities that were founded in Milton County for religious reasons. At the corner of Hopewell Road and Birmingham Road is an old house that had been built by Moravian missionaries. The house served as the community center for a while, and served as a rest stop along the trails that connected Cumming and Canton. Now, Hopewell Baptist Church serves as this religious center for the community.
The center of the community for many years was the school and the few very small stores around Hopewell Road and Thompson Road. The school was closed in about 1980, and this community, like so many others, lost all contact with its past.
