LOVE GWINNETT. LOVE OUR CITIES.

You don’t have to sell Gwinnettians on Gwinnett. Nationally recognized schools, a vibrant economy, affordable housing, diverse cultures, a thriving arts community and pro sports barely scratch the surface of the many reasons we love Gwinnett.

Each of our unique cities offer residents and visitors something different, from Buford’s charming Main Street to the Forum at Peachtree Corners. Lawrenceville’s iconic courthouse is instantly recognizable. Grayson’s new clock tower is on its way to be an icon. Norcross’s historic train depot and Dacula’s Elisha Winn house are local landmarks. There’s the Bowl in Sugar Hill, the Town Green in Duluth, the Whistlestop Shops in Auburn and the lake in Berkely Lake. Every city in Gwinnett has its own subculture and oneof-a-kind expression of it.

Our diverse cities and neighborhoods are home to the people that make Gwinnett so special. We speak scores of languages and celebrate a variety of cultures, but we all find commonality in this place we call home.

At the heart of Gwinnett is a rare spirit. It’s the spirit that drives our giving attitude and unites us as neighbors. And that’s what we all love about Gwinnett. #loveourcities #lovegwinnett
