Gwinnett boasts the Southeast's most culturally diverse, global population with a quarter of all residents born outside the United States. Gwinnett was rural farmland for most of its first 200 years, producing food and cotton. Waves of development swept across its 437 square miles starting in the 1970s, building the vibrant, dynamic, connected Gwinnett County of 2018.
The panels here at Gwinnett's Bicentennial Plaza tell a story of building and growth during the county's first two centuries of progress. Every resident who ever lived here added something to that story. It is our hope that the time capsule buried on this site will help bring some of those stories to life.
