Living in Gainesville, GA

Dubbed as the “Queen City of the Mountains,” this business hub in Northeast Georgia is home to over 35,500 residents. Gainesville is located approximately 52 miles away from Atlanta, right on Interstate 985. The foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountain serve as this queen’s throne as it overlooks the impressive shorelines (and the equally impressive) Lake Sidney Lanier. Gainesville is the seat of Hall County.

Once known as Mule Camp Springs, Gainesville was named in honor of General Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who once commanded the U.S. Army’s Western Division. A discovery of gold deposits near Gainesville brought business to the city, but as the gold rush waned, Gainesville redirected its focus to livestock and agriculture. Today, it is also known as the “Chicken Capital of the World.”
