Suwanee Real Estate
Before Suwanee was incorporated in 1949, it was originally an Indian Village located about 3 miles southwest of the current downtown area, where the Suwanee Creek runs into the Chattahoochee River. The name Suwanee is closely tied to the City’s Native American Heritage. There is great speculation regarding where the name originated from; some believe it comes from the Indian word meaning “echo”. Others credit the name to the early white settler’s way of pronouncing the word “Shawnee”. At the time Suwanee was incorporated it was 3.1 square miles. Astonishingly, it now incorporates nearly 7,000 Acres, and about 10.8 square miles.
Suwanee is one of the fastest growing cities in Georgia and is home to over ten thousand residents. The city is committed to preserving and enhancing its historic area; as well as providing outstanding service to its citizens and businesses.
