Lawrenceville’s history begins with official incorporation on December 15th, 1821, which means the city was born exactly three years after Gwinnett County came into existence. Named after Captain James Lawrence, a renowned naval commander who received national fame at the time for his gutsy and stubborn defense of the country during the War of 1812. Lawrenceville is the oldest city in the greater metro Atlanta area and is the official county seat.

Following in the footsteps of the strong, stubborn, and old-school captain the city was named after, Lawrenceville thrived from the beginning with a strong combination of farmers, tradesman, and hard workers who took pride in building a strong community from the very beginning.
