Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County, Georgia. The Census Bureau estimated the 2005 population of Lawrenceville at 28,393.

Lawrenceville was incorporated by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on 15 December 1821. This makes Lawrenceville the second oldest city in the Metro Atlanta Area. William Maltbie, the town’s first postmaster, suggested the name “Lawrenceville” in honor of Captain James Lawrence, a naval commander during the War of 1812. Lawrence, a native of New Jersey, is probably best known today for his dying command, "Don't give up the ship!"

In 1821 a permanent site for the county courthouse was selected and purchased. The four streets bordering the square were laid out along with other streets in the village, and a public well was dug.
