The City of Norcross is Gwinnett County's second oldest city. It was founded by J. J.
Thrasher and named for his good friend Jonathan Norcross, a former Mayor of Atlanta. Norcross
was incorporated on October 26, 1870. The Mayor and City Council have sought to preserve the
city's charm. The City maintains a quiet, picturesque downtown district while along its fringes
are corporations doing millions of dollars of business on a daily basis.
Norcross has the distinction of being the only location in Gwinnett County to have a district
listed in the U.S. Register of Historic Places. The district comprises 112 acres and is located
along South Peachtree Street, North Peachtree Street, and Lawrenceville Street including the downtown area.
All sections of the city are connected to the downtown core by a network of sidewalks. At
any time of the day, you will find walkers and joggers, mothers and fathers strolling with their
small children, and even older citizens utilizing this community asset. The sidewalk network
leads to or through our parks: Thrasher, Rossie Brundage, Lions Club, and Betty Mauldin.
These amenities lend a restful, unique flavor to the city by providing a relaxed atmosphere
for family and community outings.
