Peachtree Corners
is a city in
Gwinnett County, Georgia
, United States. It is part of the
Atlanta
metropolitan area, and is the largest city in Gwinnett County with a population of 42,243 as of the
2020 US Census
.
[4]
Peachtree Corners is the only
Atlanta northern suburb
developed as a
planned community
.
[5]
The city is bordered to the north and west by the
Chattahoochee River
and is located east of
Dunwoody
.
History
[
edit
]
Settlement
[
edit
]
Prior to 1818, the western corner of what became Gwinnett County was
Creek
and
Cherokee
territory, and it was illegal for white families to settle there.
[6]
Nevertheless, there were several families of white
squatters
in the area before settlement was legalized, including Isham Medlock, whose name is lent to
Medlock Bridge Road
. In the early 1800s, a road was built along a Native American trail from what is now
Buford
, past what is now Peachtree Corners, to what is now
Atlanta
.
[6]
A small farming community, known as "Pinckneyville," grew up along that road. By 1827, the community was home to the second school in Gwinnett County, the Washington Academy, founded on what is now
Spalding Drive
. The area was also home to a post office, saloon, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and inn; however, the prosperity of Pinckneyville was to be short-lived.
In 1870, a railroad was built through neighboring
Norcross
, and due to the heavy trading that could be done via the railroad, all of the area's businesses and many residents moved from Pinckneyville to Norcross.
[6]
[7]
Urban development
[
edit
]
For the next century, the area remained a rural farming community. In the late 1960s, Paul Duke developed the idea of creating Peachtree Corners, a
planned community
to be constructed in the area that was once known as Pinckneyville.
[6]
In 1967, Duke initiated the planning of the office component of Peachtree Corners: Technology Park Atlanta, a campus for high technology industries that would benefit from employing engineers and business people graduating from the
Georgia Institute of Technology
(Georgia Tech), the
University of Georgia
, and other universities with technology and business schools.
[8]
As a member of the Georgia Tech National Advisory Board, he raised $1.7 million to develop the business center.
[9]
Initial residents of the technology park included
GE
,
Scientific Atlanta
(now part of
Cisco Systems
), and
Hayes Microcomputer Products
. In 1968, Duke established Peachtree Corners, Inc., a development corporation for the residential parts of the community.
[10]
During the 1970s, Jim Cowart began to develop the neighborhoods that Duke had planned. Initial neighborhoods developed by Cowart included Peachtree Station,
[6]
Chattahoochee Station, and Spalding Corners. During this period, Cowart developed more upscale housing and laid more sewer pipes than the rest of
Gwinnett County
.
[11]
Incorporation
[
edit
]
The United Peachtree Corners Civic Association (UPCCA), an umbrella group of neighborhood homeowners' associations, was formed in 1993 in response to land use and development concerns in the area.
[12]
Despite the efforts of the UPCCA, some development opposed by the UPCCA continued in Peachtree Corners throughout the 1990s; therefore, in 1999, the idea of incorporating Peachtree Corners was first proposed.
[13]
Nonetheless, due to the complexity of existing law, an incorporation movement did not then materialize.
[13]
A city of Peachtree Corners was again proposed by the UPCCA in 2005, but efforts were abandoned after a straw survey of some residents seemed to indicate that the majority did not support incorporation.
[14]
In 2010 the UPCCA again pursued the incorporation of Peachtree Corners
[15]
after a failed attempt by the city of
Norcross
to annex a portion of Technology Park Atlanta.
[16]
In a
referendum
held on November 8, 2011, residents of Peachtree Corners voted to incorporate as Gwinnett County's 16th city, and, with a population of 43,059,
[17]
it became the county's largest. Municipal operations began on July 1, 2012.
[18]
