Explore the History of Johns Creek

Johns Creek became a municipality when it was incorporated December 1, 2006, but our past began in the early 19th century in the trading posts along the Chattahoochee River in what was then Cherokee Indian territory.

19th Century

Johns Creek’s past began in the early 19th century in the trading posts along the Chattahoochee River in what was then Cherokee Indian territory. Through the years, the trading posts grew slowly into crossroads communities where pioneer families – Rogers, McGinnis, Findley, Buice, Cowart, Medlock and others – gathered to visit and sell their crops. Today, reminders of those early farming families are still with us as we travel along streets and bridges named after them.

By 2000, a grassroots movement to incorporate the Johns Creek area into a city was slowly developing. It was only one of three main communities north of the Chattahoochee in Metro Atlanta that was not incorporated by that time. (Today, all of Fulton County north of the Chattahoochee River is incorporated).
