| Norcross The City of Norcross was incorporated in 1870 making it Gwinnett County's second oldest city. Founded by J. J. Thrasher and named after his good friend Jonathan Norcross, a former Mayor of Atlanta. The Mayor and City Council have sought to preserve the city's charm by maintaining a quiet, pisturesque downtown district while along its fringes are corporations doing millions of dollars of business on a daily basis. Norcross' hometown charm, convenience to Atlanta and award winning schools have led to the development of numerous new subdivisions for families. Our many churches of diverse denominations also sponsor functions and provide support for children and families. Several excellent state-of-the-art libraries, including the Norcross library, are located within easy access. People who live in this quiet picturesque city enjoy its small town charm without sacrificing all the conveniences of the big city: Atlanta is just a few exits down the road...or take a half hour scenic drive to the southernmost reaches of the Appalachian mountains. Whether it's old-style south you want or the modern features and traditional elegance of new homes, many diverse housing opportunities await you. Our growing new subdivisions invite you to explore their different styles and modern features. |
