Gwinnett County · The technology corridor
About Peachtree Corners
Peachtree Corners was unincorporated Gwinnett farmland, known historically as Pinckneyville, until 1967, when Paul Duke launched Technology Park Atlanta as a low-density tech campus and the area grew up around it.
Voters incorporated the City of Peachtree Corners in 2012, Gwinnett's newest city at the time and its largest, and the town center built after that anchors the city around the Town Green and the Forum.
The short version
From Pinckneyville to the technology corridor
Technology Park Atlanta launched in 1967 as one of the country's first planned tech campuses, and the offices along Peachtree Parkway grew from it. The city incorporated in 2012 and built its own town center: the Town Green, city hall, and the programming that gives the area a civic heart.
Gwinnett County Public Schools serves the city, and daily life runs along Peachtree Parkway between the Forum, the Town Center, and Jones Bridge Park.
