Living in Lilburn

Lilburn is located in the western part of Gwinnett County and 30 miles Northeast of Atlanta . The railroad runs through the old town area and Lawrenceville Highway (Highway 29) is the main corridor of traffic. Present day Lilburn was inhabited by a tribe of Native American Indians prior to 1817. They were known as the Lower Creeks and lived in the southern part of what is now known as Gwinnett County.

Starting in 1819 Georgia held six land lotteries to promote the settlement of these lands. The third land lottery or the land lottery of 1820 pertained to property in Gwinnett County and what is now present day Lilburn. William McDaniel was the winner of the land lot that present day Lilburn is located. William McDaniel arrived in the area and built his home near what is now the Lawrenceville Highway and Harmony Grove intersection. The Georgia Carolina and Northern Railroad was purchased or taken over by the Seaboard Airline Railway during the construction phase. The first train with passengers came through on April 24, 1892. The community had a depot, telegraph office and several mercantile businesses. Around 1900 the name was changed to Lilburn, GA. It was named after Lilburn Trigg Myers who was the general superintendent for the Seaboard Airline Railway. The State of Georgia Incorporated the City of Lilburn on July 27,1910.

A disastrous fire visited Lilburn in November 1920. The business section was destroyed except for two stores. The town was rebuilt but the cotton crop was attacked by the boll weevil and destroyed. The depression of 1929 also took a heavy toll on the area and the town gradually died. The need for a water line in 1955 created a new city government and the town began to grown again. In 1976 a new city hall was built in the Old Town area and helped create the growth that we have today.
