Suwanee History

Suwanee is a suburban city ljust a few miles north of Atlanta.

Suwanee was originally inhabited by the Shawnee Indians and later the Creeks and Cherokees who eventually lost the land to white encroachment. No one can say for sure where the name Suwanee came from. It probably was an Indian word, but it might also have been a mispronunciation of Shawnee. Either way the city is known as Suwanee today.

The city grew slowly and remained an agricultural area for most of its history. Later Suwanee became famous later as the training ground for the Atlanta Falcons football team.

Suwanee is now going through its greatest growth ever and thanks to careful planning and concerned citizens the city is growing in positive directions with a future that is starting now. Want to be a part of history?
