As of the census of 2000, there were 765 people, 276 households, and 226 families residing in Grayson, Georgia.

The first settlers came into an area what is now Grayson in 1820.

On April 5, 1881 McConnell built a building which consisted of the first post office and held other companies. J.D. Spence, a merchant and public figure in Lawrenceville, a nearby city, named the area “Trip” because it was a “trip” to McConnell’s country store. McConnell began clearing land and building homes to make the area more attractive.

The town of Grayson was founded in 1879 by James Patterson McConnell. He purchased 80 acres of land from his uncle Stephen Billue and that became part of the town.

In 1901, John Ellery Jacobs, the postmaster and civic leader, wrote to the post office department requesting that Trip, Georgia be changed to Berkley, Georgia. On December 6, 1901, the General Assembly of Georgia approved an act to incorporate the town and change the name. Shortly after, Ellery Jacobs was notified that there was already a Berkley, Georgia. He then suggested Graymount (because there was a clear view of Stone Mountain) but it was also taken. Mr. Jacobs' wife, Ada McConnell Jacobs, was visiting a county in Texas called Grayson and then suggested the name.
