FOCUS: What was Gwinnett like before Europeans settled it?

By Charlotte Nash  |  Thousands of years before Europeans came to Georgia, Native Americans lived in what is now Gwinnett. Two groups were dominant in Georgia when the colony was founded: the Cherokees in the north and the Muscogee, or Creeks, in central and south Georgia.

By Elliott Brack  |  Back when Gwinnett was just beginning its growth in the 1960s, Realtors were not so numerous in the county as they were later. Jim Hood of Lawrenceville, who died in Monroe last week, had a “catbird seat” to watch Gwinnett grow, as he was in real estate since 1964.
