Roopville

Roopville was incorporated in 1885, growing from the original settlement started by Martin Roop, his wife, Elizabeth, and their 10 children.

Roop migrated to Georgia from South Carolina and settled in the area in 1855. The Roop family became prosperous farmers and businessmen and contributed to the development of the entire area.

Located on a high ridge in southern Carroll County nine miles southwest of Carrollton, Roopville is a small, close-knit community with a population of about 248, according to the 1990 census, down from 317.

Police protection for Roopville is provided by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department and Georgia State Patrol. The local fire station is located just off U.S. 27 on West Avenue in Roopville. The station has three paid full-time fire fighters and many local volunteer fire fighters.

The Roopville Historical Society founded a museum located off U.S. 27 just past the post office to help preserve the city's rich history. The historical society also sponsors the annual Roopville Homecoming Festival in September. This will be its 70th year and it will include many arts and crafts from local artist.

Roopville also has a community center and park at the old Roopville School, on Victory Drive. A ball field is also located at the old school where baseball and softball games are coordinated by the Roopville Athletic Association. Basketball and other recreational programs are also held at the Roopville Elementary School facilities.
