The City of Norcross is Gwinnett County's second oldest city. It was founded by J. J. Thrasher and named for his good friend Jonathan Norcross, a former Mayor of Atlanta. 

Norcross was incorporated on October 26, 1870.  The City maintains a quiet, picturesque downtown district.

The Norcross Historic District sits along the eastern continental divide. This divide, or ridge, played a significant role in the early settlement of the area.

Originally, the Creek and Cherokee Indians occupied this land and the ridgeline was used as a major transportation route. Two American forts were established in the early 1800’s due to the War of 1812 – Fort Daniel (at Hog Mountain) and Peachtree Fort (in Atlanta). These two forts were connected by this old Indian trail which became known as the original Peachtree Road.

As of the census of 2000, there were 8,410 people, 2,644 households, and 1,768 families residing in Norcross.

The median income for a household in Norcross was $44,728, and the median income for a family was $42,893.
