Milton (population approximately 30,000) is an area of Fulton County, Georgia which became incorporated as a city on December 1, 2006. Milton was created out of the entire unincorporated northwestern part of northern Fulton County.

Milton was not named for any of its historic communities, but rather because northern Fulton County is almost entirely the former Milton County, which was in turn named for either John Milton or Homer V. Milton.

Former communities within Milton's city limits include Birmingham, Field's Cross Roads, and Crabapple.

Along with Johns Creek, this marks only the second time in Georgia history that a city was created by means of a voter referendum, the first being Sandy Springs.
