The City of Palmetto's history page says the community began as Johnson's Store in 1833, took the name Palmetto in 1847 and was chartered by the state legislature in 1854. The railroad from Atlanta reached Palmetto in 1851. Palmetto was in Campbell County until that county was abolished, and it became part of Fulton County on January 1, 1932.

The same page notes that the railroad runs along a ridge between two river basins: rain falling east of the tracks drains toward the Flint River and rain falling west drains toward the Chattahoochee.

Because Palmetto lies in two counties, the county a home is in sets its property tax bill and county services. Check the parcel in the Fulton County or Coweta County property records before you compare prices or estimate taxes.
