Johns Creek, Georgia

Johns Creek, has a rich history and a vibrant business and lifestyle scene. In the early 19th century, the area was home to Cherokee and Creek Native Americans, with trading posts along the Chattahoochee River. European colonization led to the Cherokee adopting an alphabet and a legislature and judiciary system. The discovery of gold in the 1820s led to America's first Gold Rush and the eventual takeover of the Cherokee Nation by the U.S. government. By 1831, the area was part of the new Cherokee County, which later became part of Fulton County. The city's name originates from Johnson K. Rogers, son of pioneer John Rogers.
