About This City
Norcross was founded as a resort town for wealthy Atlantans. Arriving by train at the Norcross depot, these visitors often stayed at the Brunswick luxury hotel located across from Thrasher Park, a pleasant green space cooled by a grove of tall oaks and magnolias. As the town quickly grew, its charming central business district was soon surrounded by traditional Southern homes. The City of Norcross is Gwinnett County's second oldest city and has played many roles in local history and development. 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. In the 1980's, when the Atlanta area boomed, Norcross shared in the prosperity. The population of the small area (3.8 square miles) swelled from 3,500 to 6,000. Yet through the boom times, the Mayor and Council sought to preserve the city's charm. It has been said that those who live in Norcross have the best of both worlds. The City maintains a quiet, picturesque downtown district while along its fringes are corporations doing millions of dollars of business on a daily basis.
The original city limits was a circle having a three-quarters of a mile radius measured from the train depot. The circle is now broken by irregularly shaped extensions due to subdivision development and annexations. The city's topography consists of small hills. The area is wooded with southern pines and scattered oaks mainly around the residences. The city is split by Norfolk and Southern Railroad tracks which run along the Eastern United States Continental Divide. The city's historical residential structures are laid out in an irregular pattern on Peachtree Street which runs the entire length of the city.
