In 1881, European immigrant Jacob Elsas built what was to become Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill, one of Georgia's most successful late 19th century textile mills.
Originally, the Mill was created to manufacture bags out of cotton bales for use primarily in grain distribution. In due time, the cotton bag business went global, and at the outset of WWI, the Mill also began to develop and manufacture tents for our troops overseas.
The original Fulton Cotton Mill was closed in 1975 when grains began to be heavily distributed by open railcars and semitrucks.
Today it remains a proud and significant part of Atlanta's industrial history, with The Stacks condominiums continuing the legacy of its founding visionary, evolving from cotton mill community to one-of-a-kind homes.
