Area Description
Lawrenceville is a city and the county seat of Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States. It is a suburb of Atlanta, located approximately 25 miles northeast of downtown. As Atlanta boomed, the sleepy suburbs came alive. During the 1980s, Gwinnett repeatedly ranked first among the fastest growing counties in the United States. Consequently, Lawrenceville hustled and bustled alongside her sister cities.. Lawrenceville was incorporated by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 15, 1821. This makes Lawrenceville the second oldest city in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Lawrenceville is located in central Gwinnett County and the city has a total area of 13.5 square miles. Nearby cities are Dacula to the east, Buford to the north, Suwanee to the north-northwest, Duluth to the northwest, Norcross to the west, Lilburn to the southwest, Snellville to the south, and Grayson to the southeast.

Some southern unincorporated areas with Lawrenceville addresses can be accessed by Ronald Reagan Parkway. Other highways that pass through Lawrenceville are US 29, GA 8, GA 20, and GA 120. Lawrenceville is home to Gwinnett's only public airport, Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field.
