Peachtree Corners, Georgia

Prior to 1818, the western corner of what became Gwinnett County was Creek and Cherokee territory, and it was illegal for white families to settle there. Nevertheless, there were several families of white squatters in the area before settlement was legalized, including Isham Medlock, whose name is lent to Medlock Bridge Road. In the early 1800s, a road was built along a Native American trail from what is now Buford, past what is now Peachtree Corners, to what is now Atlanta. A small farming community, known as "Pinckneyville," grew up along that road. By 1827, the community was home to the second school in Gwinnett County, the Washington Academy, founded on what is now Spalding Drive. The area was also home to a post office, saloon, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and inn; however, the prosperity of Pinckneyville was to be short-lived.

In 1870, a railroad was built through neighboring Norcross, and due to the heavy trading that could be done via the railroad, all of the area's businesses and many residents moved from Pinckneyville to Norcross.{{cite web |last=Donahue |first=Meg |url=http://peachtreecorners.patch.com/articles/from-pickneyville-to-peachtree-corners-its-a-community-with-a-rich-past |title=From Pickneyville to Peachtree Corners, it's a community with a rich past - Peachtree Corners, GA Patch |publisher=Peachtreecorners.patch.com |date=February 21, 2011 |access-date=September 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330153115/http://peachtreecorners.patch.com/articles/from-pickneyville-to-peachtree-corners-its-a-community-with-a-rich-past |archive-date=March 30, 2012 |url-status=dead }}{{cite news |url=http://patch.com/georgia/peachtreecorners/the-history-of-peachtree-corners-part-three-bibles-gud18441da0a |title=The History of Peachtree Corners Part III |publisher=The Patch}}

For the next century, the area remained a rural farming community. In the late 1960s, Paul Duke developed the idea of creating Peachtree Corners, a planned community to be constructed in the area that was once known as Pinckneyville. In 1967, Duke initiated the planning of the office component of Peachtree Corners: Technology Park Atlanta, a campus for high technology industries that would benefit from employing engineers and business people graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), the University of Georgia, and other universities with technology and business schools.{{cite book |page=67 |title=The Great Global Idea Race |author=McKinley Conway |publisher=Conway Data |year=2006}} As a member of the Georgia Tech National Advisory Board, he raised $1.7 million to develop the business center.{{cite web |url=https://issuu.com/gtalumni/docs/1996_72_4 |title=A Look Back to the Future |page=48 |publisher=Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine |author=Erica Archibald}} Initial residents of the technology park included GE, Scientific Atlanta (now part of Cisco Systems), and Hayes Microcomputer Products. In 1968, Duke established Peachtree Corners, Inc., a development corporation for the residential parts of the community.{{cite news |url=http://patch.com/georgia/peachtreecorners/the-history-of-peachtree-corners-part-six-the-vision-489196f7a1 |title=The History of Peachtree Corners Part 6 |publisher=Patch |author=Randy Wyles}}

During the 1970s, Jim Cowart began to develop the neighborhoods that Duke had planned. Initial neighborhoods developed by Cowart included Peachtree Station, Chattahoochee Station, and Spalding Corners. During this period, Cowart developed more upscale housing and laid more sewer pipes than the rest of Gwinnett County.{{cite news |url=http://patch.com/georgia/peachtreecorners/city-loses-long-time-champion-peachtree-corners |title=City Loses Long Time Champion of Peachtree Corners Jim Cowart, 82, died at his home Friday, Aug. 15 |date=August 18, 2014 |publisher=Patch |author=Scott Bernarde}}

The United Peachtree Corners Civic Association (UPCCA), an umbrella group of neighborhood homeowners' associations, was formed in 1993 in response to land use and development concerns in the area.{{cite news |url=http://patch.com/georgia/peachtreecorners/peachtree-corners-business-association-now-forming |publisher=Patch |title=Peachtree Corners Business Association Now Forming |author=Judy Putman |date=November 17, 2011}} Despite the efforts of the UPCCA, some development opposed by the UPCCA continued in Peachtree Corners throughout the 1990s; therefore, in 1999, the idea of incorporating Peachtree Corners was first proposed.Elliott Brack, "Complex requirements obstruct cityhood", The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, March 7, 1999. Nonetheless, due to the complexity of existing law, an incorporation movement did not then materialize. A city of Peachtree Corners was again proposed by the UPCCA in 2005, but efforts were abandoned after a straw survey of some residents seemed to indicate that the majority did not support incorporation.George Chidi, "PEACHTREE CORNERS: Group abandons cityhood plans; Post office and ZIP code remain on wish list", Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 25, 2005.

In 2010 the UPCCA again pursued the incorporation of Peachtree CornersYou, Camie.
