Snellville, located in the southern portion of Gwinnett County, was
incorporated as a town on August 20, 1923. Two young men, James
Sawyer and Thomas Snell, who came to the United States from England
in 1874, first settled Snellville. The city is named after Thomas
Snell.
The historic Mason-Todd House is one of the city's oldest homes that
is still standing within the city limits. The city has leased the
home from the E.R. Snell Family, so the home will be available for
public and private events.
The city hosts the annual "Snellville Days Festival" the first
weekend of every May. This annual event has an old-fashioned parade
down Main Street and a weekend craft fair. |
