PEACHTREE CORNERS

Just a century ago, the land that makes up Gwinnett’s newest and largest city was a farming settlement on a dusty stagecoach stop to Atlanta. Today the area once known as Pinckneyville is a breeding ground for ideas, invention and re-imagination. Incorporated in July 2012, Peachtree Corners has cultivated a thriving business community envied by the tech industry. Paul Duke was the mind behind Technology Park, the catalyst that led to the City’s nationally recognized status as America’s leading smart city.

The City established a character of endless fun in just over ten years. Town Center, the community’s central gathering place and preferred outdoor concert venue, The Forum, Peachtree Corners’ newest shopping center, an expansive multi-use trail system and a forward-thinking mindset makes Peachtree Corners the remarkable and innovative city it is today.
