About Snellville, GA

Seventeen-year-old friends James Sawyer and Thomas Snell opened a mercantile business in a small farming community then known as New London at the corner of what is now Stone Mountain Highway 78 and Scenic Highway 124 sometime in the 19th century.  What began then and was incorporated in 1923 has grown considerably into the diverse, progressive southern Gwinnett County City it is today.  Snellville offers great outdoor fun, including seasonal events with business and consumer networking fairs such as the popular Snellville Days Fall Festival, Food Truck Fridays, the Summer Concert Series, and free movies.  

The Snellville Senior Center partners with the Snellville Satellite Congregate Senior Program to provide loved ones with activities that enhance independence and social connections, as well as other services designed to maintain quality of life.  The community garden, summer weekly farmers' market, tourism/trade, parks department, the new Snellville Entertainment District featuring the Grove at Towne Center Mixed Use Development, and other city functions keep residents with various interests informed, involved, and entertained.  Stone Mountain Park, Alexander Park, and Lenora Park, major department and grocery store chains, and The Shoppes at Webb Gin, a lifestyle shopping center with popular dining and national retailers, are just a short drive away.
